What owners wrote
The car will not stop over heating and cuts off when in the middle of the highway when I was going 65 MPH I almost wasn't able to make it off the road because I didn't have any power steering when it cut off. I have had the thermostat water pump radiator n hoses and reservoir replaced. And the car still over heats there is a open recall on the car and the dealer hasn't informed me when I can bring it in to be serviced.
