What owners wrote
Consumer was traveling at about 30-40 MPH when tires locked up, and vehicle became undriveable. There was also an engine part that broke off. Has not contacted dealer.
Randomly the factory alarm goes off throughout the day with the horn blaring. After a while, the alarm drains the battery, even if it resets. Fuses have been changed, relays, and a reset by disconnecting the battery- to no avail.
