What owners wrote
Our teenage boys were traveling at a safe speed, did not hit a pothole or other object, and did not swerve when the right front axle snapped. This directed them into a telephone pole and then they proceeded to skid approximately sixty feet down a road. This incident happened on a well paved road in the pocono mountains, pa. Although a winding road the axle snapped during a straight portion.
The vehicle randomly does not respond to the accelerator. This is not a regular occurance, maybe once or twice a month. We have had several occasions when we have been making turns with plenty of room but the vehicle does not engage. The same issue has happened when trying to accelerate on the freeway and the vehicle does not 'listen' to a pushed gas pedal. We have had it to the dealership 5 times and they say they 'cannot reproduce the issue' and have offered now help.
