Consumers are writing on the behalf of their son aaron lee mayanrd, consumer states while their son was driving the vehicle, it went out of control, hit a dirt bank and flipped over, the driver was killed in this accident, there was never a cause for the accident, however consumer just received recall 01v154 and questions that maybe this could have been the cause of the accident. *slc
I bought the car new which would not start for test drive was told someone left dome light on. After jump, it worked fine for a few thousand miles. Then went to car and would not start one day. There was no battery light on or any warning. It has happened 2 more times since then. Rear brakes wear out within a few months from replacement. Dealer fixed once and I have incured the expense several times since. I can not even afford to do it anymore leaving me to take a risk of driving with bad rear brakes.
