What owners wrote
The instrument cluster started by flashing all lights to staying on. Then the speed controls, speedometer, RPM gauge, and heat sensor would not work. On top of all this. The brakes began to make a clicking noise when this issue would happen and the brakes would act rough. No mechanic could figure out the problem until it was to late. This needs to be better known and better managed.
When the vehicle is rolling, the right tire locks up and starts smoking, this happens all the time. Mechanic cannot find it to fix it if fixable and not a recall? I am driving city streets (in virginia-suburbia.
