The day may 13, 2009 my wife was driving the vehicle for about hillsborough avenue at 12: 15 a day. Another vehicle driving in the opposite direction crossed the street to enter the parking lot of ross. My wife quickly use the brakes but the vehicle was when collided with the other vehicle stopped. My wife suffered trauma to the spine and neck. Breaking the 5th lumbar vertebra and herniated cervical. Never again could work or it could operate. Requires a spinal fusion which costs $ 80,000.00.
The turn signal and hazard flashing warning light worked intermittently. A hazard warning switch recall 03v327000 was issued on this problem. However, this vehicle was not included in the recall due to VIN.
