What owners wrote
There are numerous safety issues I have found with this car I just financed. First, at random many different lights just blow, then on my dash various warning lights will go on and off, on top of that my ABS and traction control is off for no reason and so are my passenger air bags. My brakes scream somedays and are touchy others ive replaced the battery twice and only owned it 3 months.
Front headlights periodically turns off without warning, goes back on as soon as you touch the light switch. Safety hazard when driving at night! Happened several times! The vehicle was in driving motion both on a freeway and also on a highway and street!
