Owner Complaints (3)
Your car suddenly accelerated while turning from a parking lot onto a main street, and your brakes failed to respond. You were forced to steer the car off the road at high speed to avoid hitting pedestrians and other vehicles, eventually coming to a stop after blowing out the front right tire on a curb. The exact cause of the sudden acceleration and brake failure is currently unknown and awaiting inspection by your repair shop.

Your windshield developed a long horizontal crack (about 20 inches) across the bottom while the car was parked overnight, with no visible impact mark or debris damage. This type of spontaneous cracking can happen due to stress from temperature changes, manufacturing defects, or existing microscopic damage. You'll need to have the windshield replaced, which typically involves removing the old glass and installing a new one with proper sealing.

MY SUN VISERS FALL OFF. THEY FALL OFF AND LAND IN MY LAP. THEY AT TIMES CATCH THE STEERING WHEEL. THEY HAVE DONE THIS SINCE 2016. BOTH OF THEM DO THIS. WHEN I AM DRIVING, FREEWAY OR AROUND TOWN, THEY FALL OFF AND STARTLE ME AND CAUSE THE SUN TO BE IN MY EYES. OFTEN THEY ARE NOT ON MY CAR AND I CAN'T SEE ON THE ROAD.
