What owners wrote
On several occasions, especially during or after a rainfall, when driving through standing water which caused an upward splash under the right front, the engine died , causing loss of power . Engine would restart as soon as vehicle cleared the deep water area, but a squealing of the power steering would follow for about 30 seconds. Dealer aware of problem, but ha syet to replac eparts.
I was driving my car at the time when I heard a loud noise in the front of my car. I was turning left into a parking lot so I wasn't going very fast I stopped and looked at my car and noticed that the left front side of my car was almost sitting on the front tire I was glad that I wasn't on the interstate at the time. I have never had this happen with any of my other cars .I would think the springs are stronger than that. Thank god I wasn't going fast.......
