What owners wrote
The traction control on this vehicle will engage at random when turns are made. When this happens, the vehicle will lose power and it's momentum will cease. I believe this behavior caused an accident I was in which resulted in the total loss of the vehicle. I was making a dog leg turn merging into traffic, with the lost of momentum I was hit on the right rear. The traction control engaged the day before as well. This issues is reported by other individuals on various web boards.
My car "service engine" light came on as well as a message on the dashboard with the words "safety assist" and "security". I immediately brought the car to the dealer. After 2 days in the shop, they said it was (as posted on the paperwork released to me) "cylinder 3 misfire and cold start rough start. Found cylinder 3 plug fouled out poss from moving vehicle all winter without ever driving vehicle. Replaced #3 spark plug, swapped coil #3 with coil #2 to see if misfire moves to cylinder #2.
