POWER TRAIN
BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY THE GEARSHIFT STOOD ON REVERSE. I HAD TO ENGAGE EMERGENCY BRAKES TO STOP. THE GEARSHIFT STOOD IN REVERSE AND WILL NOT MOVE TO ANY OTHER GEAR. TOWED TO DEALER AND FOUND IT WAS THE GEARSHIFT CABLE DISLODGED. I HAD TO PAY 390.00 DOLLARS TO GET IT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS AND THE SHIFT GEAR CABLE SNAPPED. THANK GOD THERE WERE NO VEHICLES OR PEDESTRIANS PRESENT.

SERVICE BRAKES
PARKED VEH TO ENTER STORE. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE VEH AND APPLIED THE BRAKE TO PUT THE VEH IN REVERSE, IT POPPED OUT, AND WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO PRESS. THIS WAS IN A PRIVATE PARKING LOT. BRAKING POWER WAS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED TO ALMOST NONEXISTENT, AND I WAS FORCED TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE TO LIMP THE CAR BACK TO MY RESIDENCE.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, I HAD MY FOOT DEPRESSING THE BRAKE. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BREAK POPPED BACK OUT AND PUSHED MY FOOT BACKWARD. I MOVED SLOWLY. I PUT MY CAR IN PARK, TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, AND THEN TURNED IT BACK ON AGAIN AND PRESSED ON THE BRAKE ONLY TO HEAR A SOUND OF AIR BEING RELEASED. I HAD TO DRIVE 10 MPH SO THAT I COULD ENSURE PROPER STOPPING TIME BECAUSE THE BRAKE WAS LITERALLY USELESS.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE FIRST TIME MY BREAKS WENT OUT I WAS SITTING IN A DRIVE THRU AND WE HEARD A LOUD POPPING NOISE AND THE BREAKS BECAME HARD TO PUSH DOWN. IT TOOK LONGER TO STOP DRIVING HOME TO BE TOWED. THE SECOND TIME THE SAME THING HAPPENED BUT WE WERE DRIVING THIS TIME AND WITH THIS ONE THE TRACTION CONTROL ALSO WENT OUT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN 9 MONTHS THAT I HAVE HAD MY BREAK SYSTEM REPLACED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AS I COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE SEEING AS THOUGH I HAD NO BREAKS TO STOP. I DRIVE LONG DISTANCES FOR WORK ON MAJOR FREEWAYS THAT ARE VERY BUSY IN THE MORNING AND AT NIGHT AND HAD THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS ON ONE OF THOSE FREEWAYS, SOMEONE WOULD LIKELY HAVE DIED OR AT THE VERY LEAST BEEN SEVERELY INJURED. THIS IS UNCALLED FOR.

CAR STALLED WHILE OPERATING UNDER FULL POWER ON THE INTERSTATE. IT TOOK APPROX. 3 MINUTES AND IT FINALLY RESTARTED. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP. THEY STATE CAR IS NOT PART OF ANY RECALL BASED ON VIN #. THEY STATE STALLING WAS RESULT OF EXTREMELY LOW OIL. HOWEVER, THE CARE HAS NO LEAK AND DOES NOT BURN OIL. IT IS SYNTHETIC OIL AND IT SIMPLY BREAK DOWNS AND DISSIPATES. I DON'T BELIEVE THEM. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS CAR HAS DONE THIS AND THE FIRST TIME THEY RE-FLASHED THE COMPUTER WITH A SOFTWARE PATCH TO FIX PROBLEM.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STAND STILL ON TO A FREEWAY OR ANY ROAD WITH A SPEED LIMIT ABOVE 25 MPH IS VERY DANGEROUS IN THIS CAR. WHEN YOU STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THE CARS DOES NOT RESPOND VERY FAST AND TAKES A FEW SECONDS BEFORE IT ACTUALLY GETS UP AND MOVES TO A GOOD SPEED. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS EVERY TIME YOU ACCELERATE, THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. I HAVE HAD MANY CLOSE CALLS WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC.
