Owner Complaints (4)
Your car stalled while driving in heavy rain and restarted normally. Later, while slowly moving forward in a parking spot with your foot on the brake to avoid a large puddle, your vehicle suddenly lurched forward uncontrollably, went over a concrete barrier, onto a sidewalk, and crashed into a building. The incident happened instantaneously despite having your foot on the brake. This may involve inspection of the brake system, engine stall conditions in wet weather, and throttle response.

Your secondary air pump isn't working properly, which has triggered your check engine light to stay on continuously. This malfunction is also disabling your traction control and cruise control features. You can hear the pump trying to operate, and there's concern about potential fire risk from the malfunction.
