I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE LIGHTS ON PANEL WENT CRAZY, DOORS LOCKING BY THEMSELVES, AC LOCKED, RADIO LOCKED, AND THE SECURITY LIGHT WAS DISPLAYED. THE ENGINE STOPPED AND I DIN'T HAVE ANY CONTROL OVERTHE CAR, IT WAS A SCARY EXPERIENCE. I PULLED THE CAR OVER AND TRIED TO START IT UP AGAIN, BUT THE SECURITY LIGHT WAS FLASHING. I TRIED FOR ALMOST TEN MINUTES, BUT IT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS NO USE. I CALLED MY HUSBAND AND CAME BACK HOME, WE CAME BACK THE NEXT DAY AND TURNED IT ON AND THE CAR SEEMED OKAY AGAIN. I TRIED TO DRIVE IT TODAY, BUT WHEN I TRIED TO LEAVE THE DRIVE WAY IT STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM, AND IT LOOKS LIKE I WASN'T THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS CAR TO HAVE THESE KIND OF PROBLEMS. I HAVE READ LOTS OF COMPLAINTS OF OWNERS OF THIS SAME CAR AND HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I BELIEVE THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED, ITS NOT A NEW CAR BUT THESE PROBLEMS ARE A SAFETY HAZARD AND I BELIEVE THIS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED WITHOUT EXPENSES TO THE OWNER. WE CAN NOT WAIT FOR THIS PROBLEM TO KILL SOMEBODY IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A FAMILY CAR AND I DON'T WANT MY FAMILY TO DIE OR GET SEVERELY INJURED WHILE USING IT.
