What owners wrote
Hood latch was not attached properly to body. Caused hood to brake free and fly up upstrucking vision and causing a wreck. No air bags deplored and cruse control stuck on. New vehicle VIN # did not match vehicle description.
The gas pedal gets stuck. My daughters just bought this car as there first car. It is not safe!!!! I am very upset that the throttle system of this car is not recalled by the mfg, when I see there are many other people complaining about the same problem.
