Consumer Description

RADIO AND CAMERA SYSTEM SUDDENLY STOPS WORKING. WHEN YOU TURN ON THE AIR CONDITIONER COMES A STRONG ODOR AS "SILICONE" THIS HAPPENS THE FIRST TIME THAT I TURN ON THE AIR CONDITIONER IN THE DAY. THE VEHICLE IS VERY UNSTABLE AND VERY SENSITIVE TO UNEVEN ROADS. SHAKES A LOT AND MOVES A LOT. I WORRY ABOUT YOUNG CHILDREN AND THEIR HEADS MOVE TOO MUCH IN THE CAR SEAT FOR THESE SUDDEN MOVEMENTS. *TR
