What owners wrote
Inserting key into ignition fuel pump would kick on occasionally, the doors wouldn't always unlock upon shutting car off, dash and radio delayed coming on at times upon starting, unlocking doors with key fob there would be static coming from back speakers, keyless entry would unlock but not always relock, a few times the key wouldn't start car there would be no reaction at turning over, dash would light up at times when no key was in ignition and car locked, heater would blow hot air then turn to cold as if A/C…
My car will shut down and lose all power without notice when I'm at highway speeds. A comment comes on the dash that says something like " transmission is not in gear" or something like that. I'm not sure of the exact words because whenever it does it I'm looking to get to the far right lane so I can come to a complete stop on the side of the highway to come to a stop, put the car in park, turn it off then turn it back on. It's so dangerous to have the car lose all power going 70 MPH.
