What owners wrote
I was driving my car to my house an my car started acting funny. While driving randomly 2 lights came on saying service brake assist and service stabili track. It became extremely hard to steer, the automatic brakes stopped working and it cut off on the highway. I put it in neutral and got to the side of the road. When I cut it back on it had the following warning lights; service brake assist, service stabili track.
New car..had continued issues of tilt wheel unlocking in locked position. Dealer had told us..we were the only ones with the problem."did service..no records..drove new car again..same problem..steering wheel unlocked..caused new car to go off into the ditch due to loss of sudden control. Called dealer..they sent up a tow truck..I refused to drive new car till corrected. I searched internet..found others with same problems..
