I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE FIXED A COUPLE TIMES AND NOTED THAT THE PROBLEM HAS ONLY OCCURRED DURING WET WEATHER AT SLOWING SPEEDS (10-15MPH WITH BRAKES APPLIED), BUT ADDED THAT THE VEHICLE BECAME IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER EVEN WITH THE FULL FORCE OF MY BODY WEIGHT APPLIED TO ATTEMPT TO TURN THE WHEEL.

THE PISTON ROD BLEW A 2.5 INCH HOLE THROUGH THE ENGINE CASING AT 158000 KM. WE HAD TO COMPLETELY REPLACE THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT NEVER CAME ON TO WARN US THAT A MAJOR PART FAILURE WAS ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE. THE BACK SHOULDER BELTS HAVE NEVER FUNCTIONED PROPERLY. THE BRAKES SEEM TO NEED FREQUENT REPLACEMENT DUE TO COROSION OF PARTS. COULD YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF ANYONE ELSE HAS COMPLAINED ABOUT A BLOWN OUT ENGINE? THANK YOU

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM NO LONGER WORKS, AND NOW THE FAN THAT BLOWS AIR OUT OF THE VENTS, WILL WORK ONCE AND AWHILE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE BEARINGS ARE GOING OUT IN IT, WHICH MEANS NO HEAT, AND NO AIR. IT WILL COST 264.00-300.00 TO FIX. I HAVE HAD M…
