What owners wrote

Put key in ignition, turned key to start postition, radio, everything was right, then bells started going off, and error said ABS fault, went to start vehicle, and error said airbag fault. Car wouldnt even turn over, just a click. I have also had problems getting transmission into gear, any gear, have had it pop out of gear while driving, and there is also a grind in the front right when I turn. Very unsatisfied.
