Purchased the vehicle roughly 30 days ago with only 4 miles on it at time of purchase. At 800 miles I began hearing noises coming from the brakes. After the dealer inspected and serviced the vehicle, they could find no issues or anything wrong with the vehicle. At 1100 miles, the brakes were still making noise and finally out of nowhere while driving the brakes locked up on me nearly resulting in an accident. This occurred afterwards on 2 other occasions, once while driving as and again another time when switching out of reverse. I also noticed at times that the brake pedal had gone nearly to the floor, which was also of concern. The vehicle was immediately dropped off at the dealership and I have now had a rental vehicle for the past couple of days without any response from the dealership whatsoever. …
I just bought this car in March of 2016 and has been in dealership over 9 times already for the alignment, tires already going bald and the transmission. I was driving one day down a street that has a 55mph speed limit and the car just died and lost all power it wouldnt go at all so I had to pull over and restart the vehicle finally it went then ever since then the car shifts very rough and jerks you and the dealerships keep telling me that its the way the car is supposed to drive but I know its not also the service transmission light came but the dealer says that codes were there to show which was odd to me also another issue with this car is sometimes when I put it in drive,reverse etc the electronic ebrake just comes which almost had me hit a few times now I have had this car 3 months now and its in the shop more than I can drive. …
As I'm approaching a steeper hill I go from 25 to 20MPH as I try to turn the corner of the hill I feel the speed of the vehicle picking up as I'm trying to slow down without slamming on the brakes the vehicle takes off hits the curb then a utility pole before coming to a complete stop
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? the parking brake randomly turns on mid driving especially on the highway. My car will randomly stop driving but the the radio and everything else is on but the car isn't on if that make sense. When I go to turn it back on after it shuts off it stutters then finally kicks back on. My tire sensors are completely off , my airbag system is always saying error , seat belt system is always going off. I could be going 50mph and car will shut off mid driving. Yes it can be inspected for FREE. Especially if my car is recalled . How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? my safety is definitely put at risk and sometimes others depending what my car does that day. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? …
While sitting in my driveway, experienced a flat tire and wanted to change the tire to a spare, but found that no amount of torque would loosen the lug nuts. After trying two different lug wrenches, I ended up having to call a tow truck to take the vehicle to the dealer I had a warranty with for the tire. The dealership informed me that all of the lugnuts on the tire were defective (and later added that all of the other lugnuts on the car were as well). Their defect is that they have a non ferrous (tin?) coating on them that shears off when torque is applied. The lugnuts attaching the tire / wheel had to be hammered off to be removed. I have since had all of these lugnuts replaced (except for one) at my own expense. …
Encountered a flat tire (observed when driving) and when I went to take the wheel / tire off to put on the spare, found I could not loosen the lug nuts with a variety of lug wrenches that were tried. I had to have the car towed to a dealer and was then informed that the lug nuts had to be hammered off the wheel and replaced. I was also informed that the lug nuts on the remaining wheels / tires were in the same condition. When I asked the dealer about it, they said that it was "nobody's fault" that this happened to the lug nuts. I disagree - and submit that it was the manufacturer of the lug nuts that was "at fault". I read about a similar incident involving Ford vehicles that was on the verge of a class action suit, but then dismissed. Apparently the outside coating (aluminum?) on the lug nuts shears off when pressure is applied. …
