On december 27th 2019. My daughter slide into the back of another car and she complained the breaks were taking to long to come to a complete stop. The car was totaled and on january 23rd, 2020 we received safety recall notice 19s54/nhtsa recall 19v-904. Had we received this notice before 12/27/19 we believe repairs would have prevented the accident and the car would not have been sold for parts.
On 2/17/2014 this vehicle experienced a "limp mode" condition. The vehicle was on a high speed road and was able to be safely removed to back streets. The vehicle would not accelerate beyond 20MPH. The vehicle was put into park, shutdown and then the key put into the on position paused and started. Problem seems to be resolved. In november the vehicle experienced two situation. 1. Limp mode - was unknown at the time so the floor mats were removed 2. Acceleration - the vehicle appears to accelerate on its own.
