SERVICE BRAKES
THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT THE DRIVER SIDE REAR BRAKE LINE DEVELOPED A LEAK BECAUSE IT WAS RUBBING AGAINST THE SEAM ON THE SIDE OF THE GAS TANK. THE LINE IS IN GREAT SHAPE OTHERWISE. STILL HAS A BLACK COATING ON IT OTHER THAN THE AREA THAT WAS RUBBING THE PLASTIC GAS TANK SEAM. THE GAS TANK SEAM IS ALSO WORN AWAY. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED IN THE FALL OF 2010 AND THESE ARE THE SAME BRAKE LINES AS WERE ON IT AT TIME OF MY PURCHASE. VERY DANGEROUS EXPERIENCE FOR MY WIFE WHO WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. LUCKILY SHE GOT IT INTO A PARKING LOT AND PARKED. THIS HAPPENED 3-15-2019. I TOOK PICTURES THEN GENTLY PULLED THE BRAKE LINE AWAY FROM THE GAS TANK AND TOOK A PICTURE OF THE HOLE WORN IN THE LINE AND WEAR ON THE GAS TANK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AS I WAS DRIVING HOME THE CAR WENT INTO SHUTDOWN MODE. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND THE DASHBOARD CLUSTER READ, TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM FAILURE, AND A FEW OTHER THINGS THAT I DID NOT GET TO READ BECAUSE I WAS WATCHING THE ROAD. THEN THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WENT TO THE MAX, AND THE CAR WAS NOT OVERHEATING AT ALL. I SHUT THE CAR OFF CHECKED ALL FLUIDS STARTED THE CAR BACK UP AND TRIED TO GET GOING AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. AFTER A FEW MINUTES I MANAGED TO GET THE CAR BACK HOME AND A FEW MONTHS LATER IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I WENT TO EDMUNDS FORUM AND THERE ARE DOZENS OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME THING.

WHENEVER I AM MAKING A LEFT TURN MY ALERT ALARM WILL LIGHT UP ON DASH STATING SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST , SERVICE STABILITRAK , SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS LIGHT, THIS WILL GO ON & OFF, BUT NOW IT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY. WHILE TURNING LEFT, THERE WILL BE A GRINDING NOISE, CAR TENDS TO REDUCE ITS POWER, LIKE ITS HARD FOR ME TO TAKE OFF AND MY VEHICLE WILL KICK SO HARD, LIKE SOMETHING IS LOCKING. ALSO ANOTHER ISSUE IS WHILE PARKED ON A SLANTED CARPORT, MY VEHICLE WILL NOT GO INTO REVERSE GEAR. I FEEL LIKE MY VEHICLE IS GOING TO BREAK BECAUSE, I HAVE TO FORCE IT TO GET INTO REVERSE GEAR, THAT THE VEHICLE WILL MAKE THE LOUDEST NOISE, LIKE MY AXLE IS GOING TO BREAK ON ME.
