What owners wrote
The vehicle went sideways and they were unable to correct it and were t-boned in the drivers door. At the time of the crash is was stated as road conditions, but with this recall and the fact that a lot of stuff used to hang from the key chain, we are now wondering if the car shut off and they were unable to correct the situation.
Dt: while driving in rainy weather it sounded from the right front corner of the car under the hood like something was grinding or abrasion. It sounded like two bearings rubbing against each other. Took the car to the dealer, and they were not able to hear it. The dealer took it for a test drive, lifted it up onto the lift and was not able to hear any noise. Updated 8/14/2006 - the right front tire warped. The brake calipers warped shortly after the vehicle was purchased.
