What owners wrote
Steering wheel seized when car was in motion on city street and car got hit at electric pole causing pole and wire damage and route closed for long period and car to get totaled and luckily I survived. Speed was around 25-30MPH
Car has had repetitive issues losing power directly after a sharp right hand turn. Completely loses power for a few seconds but long enough to potentially be rear ended. I have had it in the shop 3 times and they cannot correct the issue. I have been dealing with this issue for the last 30,000 miles and seems no help is comping from the dealership or manufacturer. I was originally told that it was a low oil issue although the oil was not low. This is the v6 version and does not consume oil like the 4 cylinder.
