A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
I was involved in a wreckon may 7. My car was struck on the drivers side by another car and then the front of my car hit a tree. The driver's side air bag deployed, but the front airbags did not.
While parked and idling, vehicle suddenly accelerated and inadvertently jumped out of gear and forced vehicle forward into a palm tree before stopping. Vehicle at body shop for repairs. The consumer stated that the dealer refused to do a computer check to determine the reason why the vehicle took off while it was in park with the engine running.
Dt*: the contact stated the chrome on the wheels flakes off, causing the tire bead to break. This results in loss of tire pressure. An independent repair shop ground the metal on the inner wheel in an attempt to get the tire to hold the correct pressure.
My mechanic, mojarro auto repair, ordered from autozone this part....when it arrived, realized it didn't at all resemble the part that his diagnostic tool stated was the problem. Jesse, found 1 at a wrecking yard. In 3 days the check engine light came on, again. I phoned detroit, michigan....gave them the VIN & part's #, the gentleman stated, " that part is no longer manufactured" this car still drives...w/no hesitation, city or hwy. Can I get a 1 time pass from dmv til it's next renewal?
