During lane departure the size of the rear view mirrors do not display a vehicle in an adjacent lane until it’s too late. However, although the lane departure does notify the driver with a flashing light in the mirror the flashing light is easily missed. An audible warning would be more effective when the turn signal is activated. I departed my lane nearly colliding with an unseen vehicle.
I pulled out of a gas station and about 1 mile down the road my car all of a sudden would not accelerate; it was stuck at a maximum of 35mph. The transmission/check engine light did not go on for at least another mile until I was able to pull off the side of the road. Car was towed to a local AAMCO where it was determined that entire transmission failed with no warning whatsoever.
SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT (PO420 CODE) CAME ON AND VEHICLE BEGIN TO VIBRATE AT START UP ESPECIALLY. TEMP GAUGE SHOWED OVERHEATING WITH NO SIGNS OF OVERHEATING. THERMOSTAT HOUSING REPLACED. SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AFTER REPAIR. MECHANIC SHOP REPLACED CONVERTER THAT WAS FAULTY (PO420 CODE) A WEEK LATER. SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON (PO 420 CODE) (171 CODE) MECHANIC SHOP REPLACED CATALYTIC CONVERTER, R&R FRONT. , LEFT SHOP THAT DAY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. REPLACE CATALYTIC SENSOR, NEXT DAY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. REPLACE OXYGEN REGULATOR PART AND VALVE COIL, (SAME CODES EVERYTIME), THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN 2 DAYS LATER. I HAVE SPENT OVER $1300.00 AND STILL HAVE THE ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT ON. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING VEHICLE DURING THIS TIME.I HAVE INVOICES FOR THE REPAIRS.
WHEN START UP, AC AUTOMATICALLY STARTS AND COMPRESSOR SOUNDS LIKE LOUD DRAGGING NOISE AND NO COLD AIR COMES OUT!! THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SINCE PURCHASED ON 1/18/2018.
BATTERY WEST EVEN A YEAR OLD AND IT WENT OUT. DEAD. COOLANT WAS LEAKING. BUT WASN'T LEAKING AT FIRST. I BELIEVE THEY DAMAGED IT. WHEN WE TOOK IT FOR CHECK UP THE SAME WARRANTY WAS GOING OUT AND THEY SAID WE WILL MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS WORKING. THEY JUST HALF FIX EVERY THING AND GOT THE MONEY. THIS IS A LEMON.COOLANT LEAK AND CONDITIONING STILL DON'T WORK.WHAT DO YOU DO.JUST
BATTERY GOES GOES DEAD IF CAR IS NOT DRIVEN EVERY DAY
