What owners wrote
Rear ended a chev. Truck at approx. 30 MPH. Wife sustained neck, back, and shoulder. Upper torso was the most affected area airbags failed to deploy.
While turning into the bank parking lot at 10MPH the car just stalled. I was unable to brake or steer out the way. When gas gauge reads empty I am unable to fill the tank with gas as it begins to spill back out. Gas gauge reads 1/2 full when it is really empty? Miles to empty sensor incorrect therefore I have no idea when I need gas. Driver side exterior headlamp seems dimmer than the other lamp.
