5/14/2021 Vehicle parked on a hill 45 minutes before it began to roll and flipped over. Car was in park and emergency break was engaged during the time of the incident. This is a hazard and could cause great bodily harm or death. I have children and they could have been in the car at the time of the malfunction . The vehicle was inspected by a police officer who confirmed the vehicle emergency break malfunctioned releasing the car down the hill.
The seat belt on the back passage seat doesn't come out. It like that buckle is too short, which make it hard to buckle up.
Driving down the road on cruise control set at 80 miles an hr, the car shut off then tried to restart itself. The dealer in jacksonville florida could not determine what caused this to happen. Upon inspection it was determined that all of the exhaust valves were damaged. They are repairing this but cannot determine the cause. This is a big concern for me.
