“DRIVING INTO MY DRIVE WAY I NOTICED THAT MY CAR PULLED IN VERY FAST. NORMALLY, I IDLE IN MY CAR INTO THE DRIVE WAY, THIS TIME IT WAS MUCH FASTER AND THE ENGINE WAS VERY ACCELERATED. I PARKED THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE WAS ACCELERATED UP TO 1850RPM. I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL TO FREE UP THE THROTTLE, IT MADE IS WORST. THE VEHICLE RPM INCREASED UP TO 2835 RPM AND STAYED STUCK AT 2835 RPM. AFTER 10 TO 15 SECONDS THE RPM SLOWLY DROPPED DOWN TO 1500 RPM AND STAYED AT THESE REVOLUTION. I HAD TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. IT'S NORMAL IDLE RPM ARE 675-700RPM. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR SOME ONE THAT DOES NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO WHEN DRIVING AT A BUSY HIGHWAY OR REGULAR CITY STREETS. *TR”

“ROLLED DOWN FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW USING THE DRIVER BUTTON AND WAS DOWN FOR ABOUT A MINUTE AND THEN AS I TRIED TO BRING IT BACK UP WITH THE SAME BUTTON THE WINDOW CAME UP AND THEN SLAMMED DOWN INSIDE THE WINDOW. THE PLASTIC GUIDES BROKE INSIDE AND HAD TO REPLACE. THE FOLLOWING WEEK, THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW DID THE SAME THING. TODAY, MY WIFE GOT THE CAR WASHED AND THE ATTENDANT WAS UNABLE TO GET THE PASSENGER REAR WINDOW UP WITHOUT USING HIS HANDS TO HELP PULL IT BACK UP. I'M HOPING I'M NOT HAVING TO REPLACE THAT ONE SOON. IT LOOKS LIKE OTHERS HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON THIS PART! WE ARE ON OUR WAY TO PALM SPRINGS AND I HOPE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN WHILE WE ARE ON VACATION!!!! *TR”

“AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON AT ALL TIMES. CAR WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION. I HAD TO PARK CAR AND NO LONGER DRIVE EVEN THOUGH I PUT A NEW ENGINE IN IT AND HAD THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT IN 2013. DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL ON AIRBAG SYSTEM FOR MY CAR.”

“WHILE BACKING UP IN MY PARKING LOT , I HEARD A LOUD POP AND LOST THE ABILITY TO STEER THE CAR. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE STEERING BOX BOLTS HAD RIPPED OUT OF THE FRAME.”
