Complaint
2007
AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
PASSENGER AIR BAG DOES NOT ACTIVATE WHEN PASSENGER IS IN SEAT. BROUGHT IN TO DEALER, WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY, COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. PASSENGER VISOR BROKE AND HANGS IN LINE OF VISION. RESEARCHED AND FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE ON BOTH VISORS. THERE IS A DEFECTIVE PIECE USED IN THE ARM OF VISOR THAT SHATTERS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, AS THE VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN UPRIGHT POSITION AND DROPS DOWN INTO LINE OF VISION. BOTH OF THESE ISSUES ARE A COMMON COMPLAINT OF THIS VEHICLE. VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, THEREFORE, CAN'T AFFORD TO REPAIR DEFECTIVE VISOR THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REDESIGNED WITH STRONGER PARTS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
REGARDING TO THE PREVIOUS COMPLAINT, VEH WAS TAKEN TO DEALER ON 3/15/2013 TO ADJUST THE ALIGNMENT UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO THE ALIGNMENT ISSUE STARTING AFTER THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED AT 3,400 BY THE DEALER. LEFT THE DEALER AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS NOW TURNED TO THE LEFT AND THE VEHICLE WAS PULLING TO THE RIGHT. THE CAR PULLED TO THE RIGHT SIGNIFICANTLY. THE SAME DEALER WAS CONTACTED ON 3/18/13 REGARDING THE ISSUE. DUE TO THE RECENT ENGINE REPLACEMENT, ONE ALIGNMENT TRIP AND A DISTANCE OF ROUGHLY 50 MILES TO THE SHOP, THE DEALER AUTHORIZED A LOANER TO BE BROUGHT TO MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT SO THAT THE DRIVER COULD TAKE THE VEH TO HE SHOP. VEH WAS PICKED UP THAT EVENING AT THE DEALER AND STEERING WHEEL SEEMS TO BE LEVEL. THERE IS STILL A LEFT TO RIGHT CONSTANT HANDLING ISSUE AND VEHICLE SEEMS TO HAVE A VIBRATION UNDER 35 MPH. VEH HAS NOW SPENT 11 DAYS IN THE SHOP (9 DAYS FOR ENGINE REPLACEMENT AND 2 DAYS FOR TWO ALIGNMENTS) AND HAS BEEN OWNED FOR JUST UNDER 12 WEEKS. VEH IS ALSO SLOW/SLUGGISH LEAVING A STOPPED POSITION AND MPG'S ON CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 60MPH HAVE FALLEN FROM 33MPG TO 29.5MPG SINCE ENGINE REPLACEMENT.
