What owners wrote
A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
I was involved in an accident that wasn't significant enough to warrant airbag deployment however since then there has been a 'check airbag system' icon on my display ever since! I can't renew my lyft drivers account until this problem is addressed which is causing an undue financial hardship. Please let me know if this is part of a second wave of recalls to come regarding airbags.
Traveling approximately 15 MPH in stop-and-go traffic on the freeway in los angeles. Weather conditions were dry. No issue regarding visibility. Front vehicle stopped. Applied brakes to stop, but antilock braking system activated causing the vehicle's brakes to grind and vehicle to glide, rather than abruptly stop, resulting in a rear-end collision. Airbags did not activate.
Driving around 30 MPH, it became hard to turn the wheel unexpectedly. There were no hits/bumps/etc. So; it was power steering fluid leaking and I had to get power steering rack replaced. The car was always dealer maintained, there were no known reasons for the leak; no bump hits as mentioned. The power steering hose was replaced when it was recalled. One known issue was that I was also experiencing known squeaking steering noise issue and I was told by the dealer that it was known, but not risky.
Driving vehicle and steering locked up hearing weird noises from the front end of the vehicle and leaking power steering
