What owners wrote
I was going 25 MPH when I crashed causing over 5,000 dollars worth of auto and property damage in addition to the medical bills which I have not received in full yet. The car malfunctioned while I was driving and I was not able to control it. I received the recall information in the mail, but the car had not been repaired. Also, the airbags did not deploy when the crash happened. I suffered a concussion due to the accident. I was the only person injured.
Water started coming in vehicle from hood release lever on driver side kick panel while driving in the rain. Vehicle was taken to dealer, repaired. However during the next severe rain storm approximately 5 month later it again failed and leaked again. Dealer stated it was repaired the second time, however again 4 months later during a severe rain storm it again failed and leaked. It was not repaired the third time, dealer stating that it was not leaking, and nothing was wrong with the car.
