Consumer Description

I CAME BACK FROM MY SUMMER HOLIDAY, AND RESTARTED MY CAR. A LOT OF WARNINGS APPEARS ON THE ODOMETER. ABOUT ENGINE, AIRBAGS, STEERING, TIRE PRESSURE, AND SEAT BELT. (I HAVE CHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURE, IT IS NORMAL. AND I ALWAYS LOCK THE SEAT BELT BEFORE DRIVING). IN ADDITION, THE NAVIGATION SCREEN AND RADIO DIED. FURTHERMORE, THE CAR LOSE ELECTRICITY AFTER IT SHUTS DOWN. AFTER MORE THAN 3 HOURS OF SHUT DOWN, IT WON'T HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO RE-IGNITE. I CHECK ON NHTSA WEBSITE THAT THERE ARE THREE RECALL ISSUES THAT MY CAR WAS INCLUDED, AND RELATED TO THE ISSUES I AM REPORTING RIGHT NOW. ABOUT AIR BAGS (08V384000), ENGINE (12E029000), AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM (12V126000). BUT I CANNOT FIND OUT ANY INFORMATION BY MY VIN NUMBER ON NHTSA. IT IS A USED CAR, I AM NOT SURE WHETHER THE FORMER USER RESPONDED THE RECALL BEFORE. EVEN IF THIS CAR WAS RECALLED BEFORE, I DON'T KNOW WHETHER IT WAS FIXED PROPERLY, AND THE SIMILAR ISSUES WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN.
