VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE CAR ACCELERATED UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 4 TIMES AFTER THE 1ST. INCIDENT. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANY PROBLEM. THE CAR NOW HAS ABOUT 3,500 MILES ON IT. EACH TIME I WAS ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY HIT THE BRAKE AND AVOID AN ACCIDENT. IT ONLY HAPPENS AT LOW SPEED OR ENGINE IDLE WITH MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. *TR

STEERING
POWER STEERING FAILED SUDDENLY, CAR BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME WE HAVE LOST POWER STEERING IN THIS VEHICLE IN THE 10 MONTHS WE'VE OWNED IT (SINCE NEW.) PRIOR LOSSES DID NOT OCCUR SUDDENLY AND WERE PRECEDED BY LOUD NOISES WHEN TURNING WHEEL. THIS INCIDENT CAUSED ALARM BECAUSE IT CAME WITHOUT WARNING. *TR
