What owners wrote
May 31 I was picking my passengers as diving to uber driver. I parked my vehicle step out to open back door to open my 3rd row seat but door didn't able to open and same minutes I heard voice beep coming out from front steering wheel. I turned around went to see what this voice is about.. Before I touched anything my vehicle start to rolled backwards and I got so scared and I tried to hold the steering wheels from outside to stop vehicle somehow but it went so fast dragged me over 100 feets throws me on the street…
Fuel pump stops working while driving on highway at high speeds, vehicle rides rough intermittently then shuts down. Vehicle will not start up again.
