Why have I not been contacted...this is ridiculous..10 recalls on this vehicle and none of them have been fixed...this was a dangerous vehicle that never shod have been on the road..total loses of vehicle..where is the warranty?.. This vehicle was sold less than a month after my accident and I was told therefore the vehicle could not be located for investigation.. I want something done about this..!

Reported at 413 miles, February 2010 CrashInjury

Check engine and vsc lights blinking. Hangs up in third gear. Had code pulled. Shift solenoid closed. This seems to be an ongoing problem with these cars. Dealerships just give you the runaround. Problem is caused by the failing ECU. This has been going on for years and no recall. This is not only a headache to drive but also unsafe.
