POWER TRAIN
AT 60K MILES THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. VEHICLE RUNS FINE BUT NOT HAVING A SPEEDOMETER IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THERE ARE ONLY A FEW TRANSMISSIONS THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM WHERE THE SPEEDOMETER IN OPERATED BY A PLASTIC GEAR INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION COST ME 1600 DOLLARS AND THE 9 MONTHS LATER THAT GEAR LET GO ALSO. AGAIN I HAD TO CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION WITHOUT THE SPEEDOMETER WORKING. THIS IS A FAULTY DESIGN AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED.

ENGINE
MY COOLANT RESERVOIR HAS BEEN EMPTIED SUDDENLY ON 4 OCCASIONS. ONE ONE OCCASION, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAYS, MY CAR OVERHEATED, AND WAS FOUND TO HAVE NO COOLANT. AFTER FILLING IT, LETTING THE CAR COOL, AND DRIVING 10 MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD, IT HAD OVERHEATED AND WAS EMPTY AGAIN. THAT TIME, AND ONCE BEFORE, IT WAS THE HOSE. ANOTHER TIME, THE CAP WAS DAMAGED, AND WAS ALLOWING COOLANT TO EVAPORATE. THE MOST RECENT TIME, THERE IS A CRACK IN THE RESERVOIR, ALLOWING THE COOLANT TO LEAK. HOWEVER, MY OVERHEATING WARNING DID NOT COME ON. MY HEAT HAS ALSO NOT BEEN WORKING, EVEN IF I WARM MY CAR UP AHEAD OF TIME IN THE COLD WEATHER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR LESS THAN A YEAR AND IT HAS SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING 4 TIMES ALREADY. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR THEY SAY THEY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE DRIVING IT WHEN IT SHUTS DOWN. SO THIS IS HOW IT HAPPENS I AM ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING AND OUT OF NOWHERE MY ENTIRE CAR JUST SHUTS DOWN AND I AM TRYING TO COAST TO SAFETY. IMAGINE THAT NOT BEING A SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT THIS CAR HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED YET. RECENTLY I HAVE BEEN SPEAKING WITH ANOTHER PERSON WHO OWNS THE SAME EXACT CAR AND HE TOLD ME THAT HIS CAR HAS SHUT DOWN JUST LIKE THAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. SO IF THIS IS HAPPENING TO ME AND ANOTHER RANDOM PERSON THAT I AM SPEAKING WITH I AM WONDERING WHY THIS CAR IS NOT BEING RECALLED. I AM AFRAID THAT I AM GOING TO DIE IN THAT CAR HOW SAFE CAN DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND HAVE YOUR CAR SUDDENTLY SHUT DOWN WITH CARS FLYING PAST YOU AT 70 OR 80 MILES AN HOURS BE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS I BELIEVE THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS CAR. I SEE BELOW THAT YOU ARE ASKING FOR SPECIFIC DATES THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED I DO NOT KNOW THOSE EXACT DATES SO I WILL PICK A DATE.
