What owners wrote
Soon after start up, I pulled out of my drive way and proceeded to turn onto the street and I had no power for about 2 seconds, then it goes full out. This has happened 8 or 9 times. I have been very disappointed with the dealer. They are clueless. I have been back 6 times for an airbag light on the dash and it is still on. Headlight went out and had to go back 3 times for that.
Air bag light is lit without an accident or mishap. I see others on line are having this same issue and have taken it to dealer and spent $175 cost to find out the airbags work fine.
