Consumer Description
WELL I BOUGHT THE CAR A FEW YEARS BACK. I LEARNED ABOUT A FEW RECALLS ON THE CAR AND TOOK THE VEHICLE IN. THEY FIXED ONE ISSUE, WHILE THEY SAID THE ENGINE WAS FINE. 2 YEARS PASS AND I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. NOTE THERE WHERE NO SIGNS OF THE ENGINE HAVING TROUBLE. JUST PASSED SMOG. HAD THE OIL CHANGED, THE AIR FILTERS AND INTAKE FILTERS CHANGED. THE CAR MAKES THIS NOISE LIKE A RATTLE NOISE. I TURN OFF MY MUSIC AND WAS LISTENING TO THE NOISE. THE CAR SEEMED LIKE IT WAS LOSING POWER WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND ACCELERATING WAS DECLINING . ALL OF A SUDDEN CHE K ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. NOT EVEN A MOMENT LATER THE ENGINE TURNS OFF. I WAS SCARED. ON THE FREEWAY AND MY STEERING LOCKED UP COULDN'T USE THE BRAKE AND WHEEL WAS USELESS. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR RESTARTED FOR A MOMENT TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY AND DOWN TO A SAFE AREA BUT THEN THE CAR STOPPED AGAIN AND WOULDN'T RESTART. HAS IT TOWED HOME. NOT ONLY WAS THIS HIGHLY UNSAFE, IT PUT MY LIFE MY KIDS LIFE AND OTHER DRIVERS AT RISK IN GETTING INTO A SEVERE ACCIDENT. I WAS LUCKY. BUT THE EXPERIENCE WAS SOMETHING ELSE. ALSO THE SEAT BELTS DONT ALWAYS LOCK IN AFTER THE FIRST TRY. U HAVE TO BUCKLE 3 TIMES BEFORE IT STAYS
