Consumer Description

ON MAY 2009, THE CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING AFTER HITTING A BAD POT HOLE. CAR WOULD NOT RESTART. ON JULY 1, 2009 THE CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER BEING TURNED OFF FOR A BRIEF TIME. MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS BEFORE AND SAID IT APPEARED TO BE A PROBLEM WITH AN OVERSENSITIVE FUEL SHUT OFF VALVE. WHENEVER WE HIT A BUMP NOW, THE CAR THREATENS TO STALL AND THEN SURGES. IT IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. IT STALLED RECENTLY, IN AUGUST 2010, WHEN BACKING UP VERY SLOWLY, BUT RESTARTED. THE CAR DOES NOT FEEL RELIABLE. ALSO, WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED ON AN INCLINE AND IT RAINS, THE BACK OF THE CAR IS FLOODED DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE DRAINAGE AROUND THE MOON ROOF. THIS HAS LED TO RUSTING IN THE SPARE TIRE AREA, WHICH WE WERE TOLD IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR
