Most Recent Complaints
When I am driving my vehicle will just stall. If I do not let my car run for at least 5-10 minutes before I go anywhere it will stall out on me not long after. It has stalled on the highway, even a few times with my 6 year old in the vehicle. After it stalls out a lot of times I have to park it, turn it off, open my door/shut it, then wait for the inside light go out before I try to start it back up. It does start back up after I let the light go out but not everytime. I have sat there for 30 minutes to an hour more than 3 times. Now i do not have control of any of the master controls for the windows or locks. I have to lock my door manually now. I was told that it could be from my ignition switch which I know there was a recall on before. I would like another recall for this issue and for it to be fixed before something not so good happens.
The trunk allows water to enter each time it rains. This causes water to collect in the spare tire department in the trunk. After it rains, trunk must be vacuumed out in order to retrieve water out of trunk. Unfortunately, this has caused my trunk liner to mold completely, as well as to begin molding under my back seat. My daughter and I have a mold allergy which has been affected by the mold in the car which is impossible to get rid of due to the location it has grown.
I'VE HAD THE SENSOR TO MY TIRE MONITOR REPLACED 3 TIMES AND IT CONTINUES TO COME ON AND CAUSE MY TIRE LIGHT TO COME ON, ALTHOUGH MY TIRES ARE FINE. IT CONTINUES TO STALL WHEN I'M GOING INTO 1ST GEAR OR CHANGING GEARS ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN ACCELERATING MY PEDAL WILL SHAKE
