What owners wrote
Purchased vehicle brand new, the rear brake lights failed and I was rear ended @ 65 MPH. Vehicle suffered $14,000 in damage with a bent frame. The value of my vehicle is now diminished drastically and it is reported in car fax report. Approximately 2 years later vehicle was recalled for faulty brake lights and the brake switch was replaced at the dealership. I should not suffer financial loss due to negligent parts that were manufactured and installed on this vehicle.
Intermittent issue where the gas pedal does not work - depressing it does not cause the engine to rev at all. This has occurred with the vehicle at 40 MPH, then no power as vehicle slowed down to 15 MPH before it started working. Other symptoms when this occurs are as follows: with headlights turned on, the left turn signal is stuck "on". If headlights are off, selecting the left turn signal can cause various dash lights to blink, and engine loses power in synch with the blinking lights.
