What owners wrote
Dt*: the contact stated the brakes failed to respond as the front right wheel began to shake and pulled to the right resulting in an impact to the curb of the bridge. This occurred while driving at an unknown speed, in a light rain. The police arrived at the scene and filed an accident report. The vehicle was towed to impound. The insurance company was notified, however a service mechanic did not inspect the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified.
Driving on the highway at 70 MPH and car transmission temperature light came on and the power to the car declined to a coast and I had to try and pull to the shoulder in heavy traffic with snow on the road which almost caused me to get hit by other vehicles going the speed of 70 MPH. This has happened numerous times I have taken it in to the dealer whom recommended that I have the transmission service done by the dealer which I paid for and complied to have performed.
