What owners wrote
The vehicle was driven by my [XXX] daughter and at @ 6 pm on [XXX] the engine was making a noise and that the car was starting to slow down and stall,so she called me. She pulled over and shut the car off and then all the dashboard lights started to blink really fast. The car started to smoke from the engine, she got out and called 911. 911 said they would send a tow truck. within a few minutes sparks were coming from underneath the engine and then the fire started.
At highway speeds, when passing any oncoming large vehicle, the hood flexes, shudders & moves violently up & down as if it is only held by the secondary latch. When parked, there is no perceptible play or looseness at the latch or hinge area. The dealerships have been no help in resolving this problem.
