Owner Complaints (3)
While turning left and going uphill at about 15 mph, your car's rear end swayed uncontrollably left and right, and you couldn't regain control. Your vehicle went off the road and down an embankment, resulting in a serious crash where you were injured with a fractured sternum, back damage, concussion, and neck injury. Before the crash, your car had been stalling intermittently, but you hadn't had it diagnosed by a dealer or mechanic. The issue may involve suspension components or engine stalling problems that caused the loss of vehicle control.
