What owners wrote
Swerved to avoid a collision with another vehicle and hit a curb. The air bags deployed. The drivers side air bag did not inflate - instead it blew up in drivers face. The passenger side air bag deployed and caught fire.
Weird electrical problems,I have taken to 2 different people, 1 of which specializes in transmissions, the problem is that when the vehicle is warmed up the transmission doesn't know what gear it is in, on initial investigation the problem appears to be the trottle position sensor but that was replaced and still no fix. They hooked up computers to the car while driving and say the computer doesn't read the tps being operative during driving but no problems can be found with the wiring and computer board.
