Consumer Description
SAME COMPLAINTS AS PLENTY OF OTHERS. DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH AND THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP WITH *ODO ERROR*, THE LITTLE SCREWDRIVER LIGHT CAME ON, SHOWS LOW TIRE PRESSURE, THE SEATBELT/AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ODOMETER STAYED AT ZERO. I COULDN'T ACCELERATE AND WHEN I PARKED IT, RESTARTED IT AND TRIED TO CHANGE GEARS IT SHOOK THE CAR SO HARD AND WAS SO LOUD IT COULD BE HEARD INSIDE THE BUILDING. SOMETHING IS TERRIBLY WRONG WITH THIS MODEL / YEAR OF VEHICLE AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAS HAPPENED TO MY CAR. THE FIRST TIME IT RESET ITSELF SO THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. SO NOW IF I PAY TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A SHOP AND IT RESETS ITSELF BEFORE THEY CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, WHICH IS LOOKS AS IF NOBODY CAN FIGURE IT OUT, THEN ITS WASTED MONEY ON A TOW AND A HUGE RISK THAT THIS HAPPENING AGAIN. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I'M IN SHOCK TO SEE HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. AS SOON AS I TYPED IN "ODO ERROR" IN GOOGLE IT AUTO FILLED MY EXACT CAR - I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO TYPE IT, SO EVEN GOOGLE KNOWS THIS IS A MAJOR MALFUNCTION.
