What owners wrote

My vehicle was moving upon coming to a stop. I tried the brake system but my car wouldn't stop and caused an accident. That's what I remember.

February 2019 CrashInjury

The air bag light came back on a couple of months ago, again, informed by dealer that they would have to research it the next time I came in. The park lights will not always shut off when in the auto setting, so far have been able to get them to shut off by repeatedly turning light switch on and off. The ABS/ESC light comes on randomly and will usually go off after turning car off and restarting.
