MY CAR WON'T WORK AT ALL HALF OF THE TIME. MOSTLY ALL ELECTRICITY STOPS IN THE VEHICLE. THE BATTERY IS 2 YEARS OLD. SOMETIMES ELECTRIC WILL WORK AND STILL WON'T START. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE'S SOME KIND OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IN MY CAR AND THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THAT BUT FOR WHATEVER REASON IT SAYS THAT IT'S NOT FOR MY VIN NUMBER. I THINK MY ELECTRICAL HAS A PROBLEM IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR WELL OVER A YEAR NOW AND I HAVE TO JUMP MY CAR A LOT.

THE REAR TAIL LIGHTS ARE LEAKING WATER WHEN IT RAINS OR GOING THROUGH A CAR WASH.

I WAS DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET, GOING NO MORE THAN 25 MPH WITH MY TWO TWO YEAR OLDS IN THEIR CAR SEATS BEHIND ME. SUDDENLY AND SIMULTANEOUSLY, ALL FOUR OF THE SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED (FRONT AND BACK), KNOCKING MY GIRLS SEATS TOGETHER, THE FRONT RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR DROPPED DOWN AND STARTED GRINDING ON THE WHEEL. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THANKFULLY. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, AND WHEN I GOT OUT TO LOOK AT THE FRONT, THE CAR DOOR SHUT, AND FOR THE FIRST TIME, AUTOMATICALLY LOCKED ME OUT, MY KIDS INSIDE, WITH ITS OWN KEY AND MY PURSE AS WELL.

WHEN DRIVING THE WARNING SENSOR CAME ON ON SAYING POWER STEERING AND STAB TRACK PROBLEM. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND CAME INCHES FROM AN ACCIDENT. MY STEERING WAS NOT NORMAL AND FOUND IT VERY HARD TO STEER AROUND CAR IN FRONT OF ME THAT SLAMMED ON BREAKS. THEN I PULLED OVER TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG AND GOT WARNING THAT FRONT CAMERA WASN'T WORKING...I DON'T HAVE A FRONT CAMERA! THEN WHEN I BACKED OUT OF THAT DRIVEWAY IT GAVE WARNING THAT MY REAR CAMERA WARNING SENSORS WERE NOT WORKING. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR.

SIDE SECTION DOESN'T WORK LIGHT ON MIRROR IS CONSTANTLY ON TODAY EVERY LIGHT ON THE DASH WAS ON THE HEADLIGHTS WERE FLASHING ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD NONE OF THE GAUGES WORKED NO HEATER CONTROLS OR HEAT WAS NOT WORKING THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON ALL SERVICE REMINDERS CAME UP ON THE DISPLAY THE RADIO ALSO DOESN'T WORK TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITRAC DOESN'T WORK!! AIR BAGS AND HEADLIGHTS NOT WORKING PROPERLY IS MY BIGGEST SAFETY CONCERN!! THE CAR DID THIS STATIONARY AND ALSO DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD!

WHILE OPENING THE SUNROOF THE SUNSHADE DISLODGED FROM SLIDER CAUSING THE COPPER METAL RETRACTABLE PIECE TO SNAP LOUDLY AND HIT ME IN THE HEAD ASIDE FROM SCARING ME NEAR DEATH AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE SUNSHADE NOW SAGS BLOCKING THE VISIBILITY OF THE REARVIEW MIRROR AS WELL THE SUNROOF WILL NOT WORK AS THE SUNSHADE CAN'T OPEN.

BOUGHT CAR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO HAD 52,000 MILES ON IT SEEMED TO BE A DECENT CAR UNTIL TODAY DEC 1, 2019 DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 70 MILES AN HOUR WITH ICE COVERED ROADS POWER STEERING WENT OUT , AND STABILITRAK, A LONG WITH ABS ALL AT ONCE AND PROMPTED SERVICE LIGHTS IN DASH AND INFO SCREEN POWER STEERING WAS SO STIFF I COULD BARELY TURN OR CONTROL CAR AND ALMOST SLAMMED INTO MEDIAN LUCKILY NOT HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE DROVE TO NEAREST EXIT AND TURNED CAR OFF TURNED BACK ON AFTER ABOUT 7 MIN AND STILL SAME THINGS IN DASH THANKFULLY THIS DIDN'T END WORSE MY CAR CAN NOW BARELY STEER AND SERVICE LIGHTS ARE ON GOING TO TRY TO SEE ABOUT TALKING TO SOMEONE AT DEALERSHIP TOMMARO IT SEEMS A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR

I WAS TRAVELING FORWARD GOING ABOUT 25 MPH ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET WHEN SUDDENLY, AFTER GOING OVER A DIP, THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO DROP ON THE FRONT RIGHT HAND SIDE. SIMULTANEOUSLY, THE SIDE AIRBAGS (BOTH FRONT AND BACK) DEPLOYED. I COMPLETELY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, BUT LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO COME TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN AWAY FROM THE ACCIDENT. WHEN I LOOKED AT MY FRONT TIRES THEY WERE NO LONGER TURNED THE SAME DIRECTION BUT THERE WAS NO NOTICEABLE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END, TIRES, OR RIMS AT ALL. THE ONLY SYMPTOM THAT COMES TO MIND BEFORE THIS INCIDENT HAPPENING WAS THE FRONT RIGHT LOW PRESSURE TIRE LIGHT WOULD TURN ON. I WOULD PUT AIR IN IT, AND FIGURED I MUST HAVE RAN OVER A NAIL AND HAD A SLOW LEAK. DUE TO HOW VIOLENT THE ACCIDENT FELT GOING ONLY 25 MPH, IT MAKES ME WONDER IF THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE TO OTHER PEOPLE. IF I'D BEEN GOING 50 MPH OR MORE IT WOULD HAVE MOST DEFINITELY ROLLED, DAMAGING THE VEHICLE TO THE POINT OF NOT BEING ABLE TO REALLY IDENTIFY THE ROOT CAUSE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. IT IS VERY DISTURBING.*DT *TR*JB*JB
