Sometimes the car will still not shut off, it's also sometimes hard to tell if the car is off, because there is no more…

The car is inadequate in the winter. When it snows i can't keep the windows clean. They changed the fittings and i can't even put winter blades on the car.

At around 10:30am, i was two blocks from home, driving on a residential street (25mph) and decelerated to approx 10mph as i approached a red stoplight at the oncoming intersection. Cross traffic was moving but there were no other cars in the lanes left or right of me and/or approaching my car. I heard a very…

I later learned both safety's on the hood latch were broken and missing parts. It also has an oil leak that will cost me…

While driving on the freeway, the sunroof glass exploded. Fortunately, we were not injured since the sunroof was closed. I noted that there were many similar reports. Surprised this was not a recall action.
