What owners wrote
I was returning to work from lunch and I was driving south in the company parking lot going no faster than 5-10 MPH. I started to make a right turn into a parking space so that I could back into the parking space directly behind it. As I started to make the turn I took my foot off the gas and placed it on the brake so I could come to a complete stop before I backed up into the space behind me.
Started at about two to three months while stopped to make turn, the computer reset. It noted tire pressure low and air bag light. This computer problem has happened at least six to eight times. Also, at least six to eight times, the car will not detect key fob and this has happened numerous times after new batteries in key fobs with new batteries. Car also died while stopped at light and when re-started it only had half the power. I 'limped' it home to avoid getting stranded.
