| 2006 | STEERING | I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY TO GET TO SCHOOL AND Y POWER STEERING WENT OUT I COULD NOT CONTROL THE CAR AND I ALMOST CRASHED TO ANOTHER CAR. I STOPPED THE CAR TURNED IT OFF AND THEN TURNED IT BACK ON AND THEN I COULD CONTROL THE POWER STEERING. IS THERE ANY RECALLS ON THIS CAR. *TR |
| 2005 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | FIRST PROBLEM, THE EXTERIOR REAR TAIL BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT FUNCTION WELL. I DID FIND THE RECALL AND DID TAKE IT IN FOR REPAIR. THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST EVEN AFTER CHANGING OUT THE DEFECTED PART. THIS IS VERY SCARY AND CAN LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. SECOND PROBLEM, THE POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON AND SERVICE LIGHT, WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES VERY HARD AND DIFFICULT TO STEER. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF THE STEERING WHEEL RETURNS TO "NORMAL". I HAVE SEEN ON DIFFERENT FORUM OF COMPLAINT THAT HAVE BEEN MADE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I THINK THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT AND DEATHS. THIS PROBLEM EXIST AND NOT ONLY IN MY VEHICLE BUT IN MANY OTHER OF THE SAME MAKE. THIS IS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMING DIFFICULT TO STEER MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I AM VERY ANGRY BECAUSE EVER SINCE I GOT THE CAR I HAVE BEEN HAVING A LOT OF SAFETY ISSUES WITH IT, AND AS A STUDENT ATTENDING COLLEGE IT IS EXTREMELY AN INCONVENIENCE. I HAVE THREE YEARS PAYING THE CAR AND HAVE ONE YEAR TO GO, THIS SO UNFORTUNATE BECAUSE AS FAR AS ALL THE REVIEWS THE PROBLEM IS NEVER TAKEN CARE OF WHICH WOULD MEAN I WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE ANOTHER CAR. *TR |
