What owners wrote
Tl* - on 01/07/04 while driving on a wet road at a speed of 25 MPH the contact's vehicle rear ended another vehicle. The contact lost control of the steering wheel. During another incident the contact's vehicle was stopped behind another vehicle that was making a right turn. Once the vehicle turned, contact accelerated and suddenly the vehicle did a 360 spin, ending in a snow bank. At the time of the incident the road conditions were wet.
In dec 2006 I received and safety recall f23 with a request to register with the dealer for a problem that - quote: ...can result in a loss of steering control and could cause a crash without prior warning. Serious _ serious enough for me to be concerned. I use this car not only to go to work every day but also to transport my children to events and so on.
