Consumer Description

PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE 2 YEARS AGO. IT HAS UNDER 50K MILES AND SEEMED TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION. CURRENTLY IT IS AT 65K MILES AND HAS EXPERIENCED THESE ISSUES: -STALLING AT INTERSECTIONS OR STOP SIGNS A TOTAL OF 6 TIMES. TAKEN IN MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE. - WHEEL GRINDING AND BUCKING WHEN STOPING OF TURNING RIGHT. ALSO TAKEN IN MULTIPLE TIMES TO DEALER - ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE IDENTICAL TO THE PRIOR YEAR MODEL RECALL. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT HOUSES THE HEATING SYSTEM AND THE RADIO HAS STOPPED WORKING. NONE OF THE BUTTONS ARE LIGHTING UP AT ALL. YOU CAN NOT TURN ON THE HEAT OR DEFROST CAUSING S VISIBILITY HAZARD. THE RADIO IT'S SELF DOES WORK BUT YOU HAVE TO OPERATE IT FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THE 2011 MODELS HAD THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AND WERE RECALLED. I FEEL THIS MODEL SHOULD BE INCLUDED SINCE THE ISSUE IS THE SAME. NO ALTERATIONS OR HAVE BEEN DONE TO THE CONSOLE. EVERYTHING IS STILL AS IT WAS WHEN PURCHASED FROM THE DEALER
