| 2007 | AIR BAGS | MY 4 YEAR OLD SON WAS IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME HELPING TO CLEAN OUT THE CAR WHEN HE WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE WITHOUT ANY KEYS OR ANYTHING. LUCKILY, I WAS IN THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR BACK INTO PARK BUT ONLY AFTER IT HIT A FENCE AND DAMAGED THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. I AM ABLE TO PUT THE VEHICLE INTO DRIVE WHILE THE CAR WAS NOT RUNNING AND THERE WERE NO KEYS IN IT. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN SEVERAL INSTANCES WHERE I WAS ABLE TO LEAVE IT IN DRIVE AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND TAKING THE KEYS OUT. IT WILL ALSO ALLOW YOU TO PUT THE VEHICLE INTO DRIVE WITHOUT PRESSING THE BRAKE FIRST. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL COMPUTER RELATED ISSUES THAT HAVE ALSO BEGAN TO HAPPEN SUCH AS THE GAS GAUGE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. IT SAYS THAT I AM ON EMPTY WHEN IN FACT THE TANK IS FULL. THE AIR BAG INDICATOR SWITCHES BACK AND FORTH FROM ON TO OFF SO I NEVER KNOW IF MY AIR BAG IS ACTUALLY ON OR OFF. ALL OF THESE ISSUES OCCUR ON A DAILY BASIS. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE VEHICLE. *TR |
