| 2006 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | DT*: THE CONTACT STATED AFTER SHIFTING THE TRANSMISSION FROM PARK TO REVERSE, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELEASED AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AGAIN, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND. THE VEHICLE STOPPED AFTER HITTING A DITCH. THERE WAS MINOR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND NO INJURIES.

| 2013 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | MESSAGE "BATTERY IN SAFE MODE" COMES ON AT ABOUT 11 TO 15 MPH. THIS IS A TWO MONTH OLD CAR WITH ONLY 2100 MILES. WHEN I SPOKE TO THE DEALERSHIP THE PERSON STATED THAT IT WOULD COME ON AT START UP. IT DIDN'T. WHEN I SAID THERE WERE SEVERAL CASES REPORTED ON THE FORUMS, SUCH AS THE 300C FORUM, REPORTING BAD BATTERIES HE LAUGHED AND SAID THAT WASN'T THE CASE. THIS WAS DURING A PHONE CONVERSATION WHEN THE PERSON HADN'T EVEN SEEN THE VEHICLE. IT WAS ALSO BEFORE I COULD SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE NUMEROUS POSTS ABOUT THE ALTERNATOR/REGULATOR GOING BAD AND KILLING THE BATTERY. *TR |
