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.
Driving with cruise control on at 65 MPH, car veered to right shoulder suddenly, steering locked up, car jumped out of cruise control, leaped forward/ over median, rolled 5 times, side door came off, driver seriously injured, 2 passengers died. Consumer states cruise control appeared to have dropped out and then restarted.
I was in a car accident going 40 MPH and my airbag did not deploy. Although the vehicle is no longer drivable I feel this is a safety issue that mat need to be checked on other vehicles like mine.
Irregular ride and tire losing air, seperated w/ visible steel inside sears auto billings,mt 2/18 would not warranty or exchange tire with 9/32s measured tread I need an outlet in 59047 or 59718 as sears is 135 miles away.
