Consumer Description

THE POWER STEERING ON MY VEHICLE CUTS OFF AND THE SPEEDOMETER REMAINS RESTED AT 0 WHEN DRIVING. THE DOORS ALSO LOCK AND UNLOCK ON THEIR OWN WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHIFT WHILE DRIVING MAKING IT HARD TO ACCELERATE AND THE VEHICLE WILL ALSO DECELERATE ON ITS OWN WHILE DRIVING IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND VERY SCARY TO DRIVE WITH THESE PROBLEMS. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THAT THE PROBLEM WITH STEERING HAS ALREADY BEEN FIXED BUT I AM STILL HAVING THESE PROBLEMS.
