What owners wrote
Pulled into parking spot. Put car in reverse. Pressed gas. Car jumped forward at a fast speed. Rolled over curb and through fence. Hit brake. Stopped an inch before going down a 5 foot drop.
Twice now, I have come out of the auto start/stop mode after being idle. The engine seems to lag on engaging and both times my steering has been lost. Both times, my speed was not more than 5 MPH and it took a few seconds for the car's steering to return. Once I was turning at a light after being stopped and once it was at a drive thru. It has been to the dealer once and they said they fixed the problem, but it will be on it's way again.
