What owners wrote
In many occasions I had a couple of incidents, one because of a yellow pole and another because of an object in the freeway. And the air bag wouldn't deployed. I paid for the repairs and I am still driving this car. After reading the letter I received I have come to one understanding that is that the car isn't safe. What is you recommendation on my concerns.
My turn signals wouldn't turn off and they just click click click click. It cost me over $300.00 to have this fixed. I was never aware of any recall on this type of vehicle. I have read the different complaints about this vehicle that had the same problem I had. These cars should have been recalled. If the were, I was never notified and should be compensated for what I paid to have this problem solved.
