I HAD JUST GOT OFF OF THE HIGH WAY AND IT APPEARED THAT MY CAR WASN'T DRIVING TO IT'S FULL SPEED. AS I GOT A BIT CLOSER TO MY DESTINATION MY RADIO CUT OFF AND THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON. AS I PULLED IN THE DRIVEWAY THE CAR SHUT OFF AND I TRIED TO START IT BACK BUT THE POWER WAS OUT FROM THERE. I HAD NO CLUE WHAT HAPPEN I JUST FIGURED THAT A LIGHT MAY HAVE BEEN LEFT ON ACCIDENTALLY OR SOMETHING BUT THAT WASN'T THE CASE. I TRIED TO GET A JUMP BUT THE CAR STARTED LITERALLY FOR 10 SECONDS AND NO MORE AFTER THAT. *TR

I PULLED OUT OF DRIVEWAY & I FELT MY CAR WAS RUNNING FUNNY I TURNED ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CHECK BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. I THEN STOPPED AT THE NEAREST GAS STATION WHICH WAS ABOUT 2 BLOCKS AWAY. I THEN STARTED TO LOSE POWER AS I GOT TO THE GAS STATION. MY CAR ENTERED BATTERY SAVE MODE. I POPPED THE HOOD & THE ALTERNATOR WAS SMOKING. IT SMELLED BURNT. NEEDLESS TO SAY IF I KEPT DRIVING I COULD HAVE CRASHED BECAUSE YOU LOSE CONTROL OF YOUR VEHICLE. I CAN SEE ITS A NATIONWIDE PROBLEM FOR THIS CAR & NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. SOME PEOPLE HAVE ACTUALLY CRASHED & OTHERS THERE ENGINES HAVE CAUGHT FIRE. I DID MY RESEARCH ON IT. *TR

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK I NOTICED A THICK WHITE SMOKE AND ODD SOUNDS WORRIED ABOUT A FIRE I PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY AND RETRIEVED FIRE EXTINGUISHER FROM MY TRUCK, THANK GOODNESS I DIDN'T END UP NEEDING IT. VERY SCARY WITH MY LITTLE BUCKLED INTO A CAR SEAT IN THE BACK. A CAR BURNS WAY FASTER THEN PEOPLE THINK. *TR

I CAN BARLEY TURN AT ALL. IT IS HARD TO TURN AT ALL. I TOOK THE CAR IN OCT 4 AND THE SAID IT IS PAST WARRENTY AND IT WILL BE 1800 TO FIX IT. HOW CAN A CAR ONLY 2 YEARS OLD HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME THE CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL I CAN AFFORD TO FIX IT. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH A TON OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IS THERE A RECALL? IS THIS FAIR? I AM A SINGLE MOM OF 3 KIDS AND I HAVE A NEWER CAR FOR RELIABILTY. AND CANNOT AFFORD THIS... *TR
