What owners wrote
Consumer noticed that while the dvd/ television set was engaged the rear mirrors became inoperative. Vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic informed consumer that the problem could not be fixed because it was designed that way.
While driving 40-45 MPH and using the cruise control, car suddenly shut down. Check engine light and battery light came on. Loss of power steering, power brakes, acceleration. Was able to steer SUV to off the road but was very difficult to do so. Nearly ran off a 10 to 12 foot drop off into a drainage ditch. This has happened several times before.
