VEHICLE MAKES A CONSTANT POPPING NOISE WHEN TURNING, BRAKING, OR ACCELERATING. SOMETIMES THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS WHEN TRYING TO TURN IT. UNDERNEATH DRIVER AND PASSENGER FLOOR BOARD IT FEELS LIKE THE BOTTOM THE CAR IS FALLING OFF. THE BRAKES SQUEAK SO BAD. I HAVE TAKEN TO THREE SHOPS AND EVERYONE HEARS THE NOISE BUT CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG. SOMETIMES WHEN I GET IN THE CAR THE AIR IS ON FULL BLAST WITH NO KEYS EVEN IN THE IGNITION. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I HAVE READ SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES. *TR

IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR I HAD MY CAR PUT IN THE SHOP FOR A WARRANTY REPLACEMENT OF MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER. WHILE AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE WARRANTY REPLACEMENT I HAD THEM TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT. EVERYTHING WAS FINE FOR A FEW WEEKS. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT WOULD COME ON WHEN THE CAR CRANKED THEM GO OUT AS I DROVE DOWN THE ROAD. THEN IT STARTED WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE. SOME TIMES THEY BOTH COME ON OR ONE MIGHT. THEN AS YOU DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD I MAY COME ON OR THE OTHER ONE GO OUT. WELL ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO I CRANKED MY CAR AND MY LIGHTS ARE ON AUTO SO WHEN THEY DIDN'T COME ON I TURNED THEM OFF THEM BACK TO AUTO AND NOTHING! I ONLY HAD HIGH BEAMS. AS I DROVE DOWN THE ROAD ONE WENT OUT AND THE OTHER CAME ON AND SO I DIMMED AND HAD ONE LOW BEAM. THEN THE OTHER CAME ON AND WORKED FOR A BIT BEFORE I GOT HOME I ONLY HAD ONE LOW BEAM. LAST NIGHT WHEN I GOT IN MY CAR ONCE AGAIN I HAD NO LOW BEAMS AT ALL ON HIGH BEAMS. HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER YET BUT IT'S A MATTER IF TIME FOR ONLY HAVING ONE LOW OR HAVING TO DRIVE INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC WITH MY LIGHTS ON HIGH. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON MY VEHICLE LIGHT UP WHILE I AM DRIVING. THEY TURN OFF WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE CLOSE CALL INCIDENTS WHEN MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE MALFUNCTIONING. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT SHUT OFF UNLESS I PRESS IN THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE CRUISE ALSO DOES NOT WORK WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. I HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH AND THAT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE AS THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IS WHAT IT WAS. *TR
