Consumer Description

1.Electronic stability control: A disabled ESC system may result in loss of directional control, increasing the risk of a crash. 2.Exterior lighting: Without a warning that the turn signal is malfunctioning, the driver would continue to use the vehicle, unaware that other drivers on the road are not being notified that the vehicle is turning, increasing the risk of a crash. 3.Equipment: Exploitation of the software vulnerability may result in unauthorized remote modification and control of certain vehicle systems, increasing the risk of a crash. 4.Air bags: If the rollover side curtain air bags and seat belt pretensioners are disabled, there is an increased risk of injury to the vehicle occupants in the event of a crash that necessitates activation of these safety systems. 5.Power train: Being able to shift the transmission without pushing the brake pedal and/or without a key in the ignition can increase the risk of an unintended vehicle rollaway that may result in personal injury or a crash. 6.Latches/locks/linkages: If the tailgate opens while the vehicle is being driven, cargo may fall out the vehicle and create a road hazard, increasing the risk of crash. 7.Engine and engine cooling: Without a properly working windshield defrosting system, a buildup of moisture or ice could limit the driver's ability to see, increasing the risk of a crash. 8.Air bags: frontal: This abrasion may result in an electrical short that could cause driver's frontal air bag to unexpectedly deploy. Inadvertent deployment of the air bag may increase the risk of injury and the possibility of a vehicle crash. 9.Parking brake: If the parking brake fails to operate as designed, the vehicle could roll when parked, increasing the risk of a crash. Red temp dash light on, Yellow Engine dash light on, Powertrain dash light on and Red airbag dash light on since May 2023. Has been serviced by dealership 9 times with the same on going issues with no resolution. Worried about overall safety.
