Owner Complaints (6)
Your brakes failed twice — once while backing up last week and again while braking at a red light at 35-40 mph, causing a crash that deployed the airbag. This happened despite a complete brake job six months earlier and normal fluid levels checked just before the failures. Your car has also experienced random blinker failures unrelated to the brake issue. The dealer hasn't been able to reproduce either problem, so a thorough inspection is needed to identify what's causing these unexplained failures.

WHEN I AM DRIVING THE CAR SIMPLY STOPS ON THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE REDUCES THE VELOCITY TO 5MPH AND OTHER CARS COMING IN MY BACK HAVE TO STOP ALSO STOP OR MOVE TO THE OTHER LINE TO AVOID COLLITION. AT THIS MOMENT WE CAN'T BE IN THE ROAD SAFETY. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS PROBLEM IS A REASON FOR RECALL YET. MY CAR IS A 2012 MODEL WITH 64K MILES! ANOTHER PROBLEM IS THE CAR JERKED WHEN I WANT TO PARK SO THE CAR DOES NOT CHANGE FROM DRIVE TO PARK OR REVERSE.
HI, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE (2) DOOR LOCK ASSEMBLY/ACTUATORS ON BOTH DRIVER SIDE DOORS. THE LOCKS WOULD NOT OPEN OR CLOSE WHEN USING KEY FOB OR MANNUALLY. 7-18-17 & 4-20-18.
ENGINE STALLED TWICE DURING 35MPH DRIVE HOME THIS EVE, MAKING STEERING AWAY FROM ONCOMING TRAFFIC EXTREMELY CHALLENGING AND TERRIFYING. OCCURRED ON #3 AND #4 OF 6 RIGHT TURNS.
WHEN L WAS IN TRAFFIC WAITING FOR THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TO CHANGE THE CAR CUT OFF AND I IMMEDIATELY PUT IT IN PARK TO RESTART THE CAR IT HAS DONE THIS FOR ABOUT 10 TIMES IT IS BACK IN THE SHOP THE DEALER CANNOT RESOLVES THE PROBLEM! THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY!!
