What owners wrote
A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
I was slowly making a left turn into and pulling into a front end in parking space with my foot on the brake, the car as already going straight into the parking space when the car suddenly accelerated, could not be slowed down or stopped by the brake, jumped the curb, and crashed into the building. Air bag did not deploy.
My car kept shutting down.I had to keep jumping it every time I started it. I took it to shop and they made me pay $130 for new battery. I feel it was related to battery recall and I shouldnt have had to pay. But they said there was a bad cell in it and it wasnt related to the recall
