What owners wrote
I wanted to submit my complaint after receiving a recall letter about my former car. In december of 2013 I was driving on the road after it had rained. I lost control of the vehicle. Car went off the edge of the road. Was unable to control car through steering or braking. We slid down the hill fishtailing. Rear end hit signs which sent me into a spin and shattered the rear window. Front of car was stopped by several trees- cracking windshield/crushing front end. Deploying air bags. Car was totaled.
Hearing popping noise in the front suspension whenever you make a turn in the vehicle and the rear stabilizing bar is bad. Back end swings.
