    The biggest issue is intermittently going into "low engine" mode, warning blinks for only a second then the car will not go more than 10 miles an hour. This is quite dangerous to me, my family, and other drivers- imagine this happening on the freeway? Does this issue need to result in a death before it is looked into by the company? The car will not shift out of gears- happens intermittently with no warning signs…

    Randomly my car will have problems shifting gears using going into 3rd gear and the rpm will shoot up. Also when putting the car in reverse it hesitates and then starts sputtering. Once i turned the car off and restarted it it started shifting normally but about 10 minutes later it started again. I have this problem when i'm on the city streets or on the interstate. I wonder why there havent been a recall for this…

    Drivers side 2nd row seat belt does not always stay latched. At 100,000 mi power steering pump went, month later lost control of steering, which turned out to be the rack. 15 months later the seals in the rack have blown out again. This is an expensive safety issue! The dealer did not see an issue as he listed 3 other makes that have the same problem. At $1400 per repair this should be a recall to keep my family…

    This vehicle was purchased today 04/21/2017 and i noticed that it is accelerating and decelerating itself. When i told the dealer they told me that since i drove it just 3 hours it is my own problem to own. Now am afraid to drive it as it may go over the uncontrollable speed or stop in the middle of the highway causing disasters.
