What owners wrote
While turning into a parking spot in a covered parking garage the car seemed to speed up and lurch. It hit the cement wall and pushed the car back with such force the air bags deployed. Thank God it was just a wall. The car is now at the repair garage and have not heard back regarding how much damage and if the car is going to be "totaled". When I mentioned this at a party we were at, a friend of mine said she had the same problem. There were no collision warnings. It happened in a split second.
Both front door at the bottom has sharp edge that slice my leg when I work out of the car. At 65 MPH on freway with minor rough surface, vehicle zig zag sway back and forth. Only on minor rough road freeway surface
