WHEN I'M PARKING I GET MESSAGE TELLING ME IT IS NOT IN PARK, ALTHOUGH I PUT IT IN PARK. I HAVE TO DO IT TWO OR THREE TIMES FOR IT TO GET RIGHT. I PUT IT IN PARK AND IT TELLS ME ITS NOT IN PARK.

AFTER A HARD RAIN OR CAR WASH, THE DOOR LOCKS ARE RENDERED NON FUNCTIONAL BY USE OF THE FOB , OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE LOCK BUTTON AND AUTOMATICALLY LOCKING WHEN PUT IN DRIVE. ALL DOORS WILL NOT LOCK / UNLOCK WITH THE ENGINE "ON" OR "OFF". THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES AND IS REPEATABLE. CONDITION CLEARS UP IF CAR IS LEFT PARKED FOR 6+ HOURS. SIMILAR COMPLAINT OCCURRED BEFORE BUT W/O WATER. THE ISSUE WAS FIXED BY THE DEALER "REPROGRAMMING".

THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN DIM FROM THE TIME WE BOUGHT THE CAR, BUT HAVE BECOME DIMMER OVER THE PAST MONTHS. IT IS HARD TO SEE AT NIGHT ON A WELL LIT STREET AND JUST ABOUT IMPOSSIBLE ON A DARK NEIGHBORHOOD STREET. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS WILL LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT AND INJURY. THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE. I FEEL THE NEED TO DRIVE WITH THE BRIGHTS ON ALL THE TIME NOW.

I'VE TAKEN MY CAR SEVERAL PLACES & BEING TOLD SEVERAL FUEL INJECTORS ARE LEAKING INTO THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER. NUMEROUS MECHANICS, AMONG OTHERS, HAVE TOLD ME THIS CAN START A FIRE AT ANY TIME.

TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS RECALL WERE RECEIVED BY ME SINCE MAY 2016. I HAVE BEEN CHECKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP SINCE THEN AND AM TOLD THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS OR ARE UNAWARE OF WHAT TO FIX AS NOTHING IS ON THEIR BULLETIN ADVISING THEM WHAT TO DO. I AM UNABLE TO GET THE RECALL SCHEDULED DUE TO THIS, AND AM CONCERNED THAT BY BEING UNABLE TO HAVE THE RECALL TAKEN CARE OF, PRESENTS A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION AND DAILY DANGER TO ME WITH DRIVING ON THE ROAD WITH DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS.

2004 SRX STABILITY SYS READY COMES ON AND THE STEERING PULLS LEFT OR RIGHT ABS LIGHT , BRAKE LIGHT , COMES ON NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT IT IS OR WHAT TO DO HELP

WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR IN NOVEMBER OF 2016 AND DROVE IT OFF THE LOT I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. TWO VEHICLES HAVE ALMOST HIT ME DUE TO THE LAG IN ACCERLATION. I'VE SPOKEN WITH MY DEALERSHIP SEVERAL OF TIMES ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEY DO NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON MY SUV AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS FIXED BUT I CAN'T FIND ANY SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS STATING IT WAS FIXED PROPERLY. I CURRENTLY GO THROUGH 13 MILES PER GALLON WHICH IS NOT NORMAL.
