What owners wrote
Car was in park at a gas station, ignition off, car not running. Gear shift indicator showed "park". Driver was out of the car and the car rolled away, crashing into parked vehicle and resulting in injury to driver. This was an avis rental car with 7,500 miles on the odometer.
When backing out of parking space turning right and then turning left, it sounds like grinding metal and the car starts jerking until the wheels are turned straight and then it's ok again it is really loud. I took it to the dealer but it wouldn't do it for them.
