AIR BAGS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE
FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, THE INDICATOR LIGHTS IN THE VEHICLE HAVE BEEN RANDOMLY COMING ON FOR ONE TING OR ANOTHER. THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AS WELL AS THE ENGINE LIGHT. AT ONE POINT, THE GAS GAUGE INDICATES THAT THE TANK IN ABOUT EMPTY WHEN WE HAVE JUST FILLED THE TANK HALF OF THE WAY. BEING SENIOR CITIZENS, IT IS DIFFICULT TO GET A DIAGNOSIS ON THE CAR WITHOUT PAYING BEYOND YOUR BUDGET, OR GETTING THE REPAIRS DONE. ALSO THE POWER STEERING FREEZES UP WHILE DRIVING SOMETIMES.

STRUCTURE:BODY
MY CAR WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY, I WENT TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AND THE DOOR HANDLE BROKE OFF. THIS PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IF THE FACT THIS CAR ONLY HAS ONE KEY ENTRY. SO IF YOU LOCK YOUR KEYS IN THE CAR AND YOUR DRIVER'S HANDLE BREAKS OFF OR DOESN'T WORK YOUR NOT GETTING IN YOUR CAR EVEN WITH YOUR KEYS BECUZ THERE IS ONLY ONE KEY HOLE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. 3 MONTHS AFTER THE DRIVER'S DOOR HANDLE BROKE OFF. I WAS SHOPPING CAME OUT OF STORE WENT TO PUT MY GROCERIES IN FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AND THAT DOOR HANDLE BROKE OFF. SO THAT LEAVES ME NO THERE CHOICE BUT TO LEAVE MY WINDOWS DOWN ENOUGH TO BE ABLE REACH IN AND OPEN THE DOOR FROM INSIDE OR OR LEAVE MY DOORS UNLOCKED BECUZ I CAN NOT UNLOCK MY DOORS WITH THE ONE KEY ENTRY BECUZ OF THE DOOR HANDLE BREAKING OFF. WHAT IF SOME HOW THE DOORS WERE TO ACCIDENTLY LOCK WITH A SMALL CHILD INSIDE ? YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE GET INTO THAT CAR TO GET THAT CHILD!

STEERING
AS I AM DRIVING MY CAR WANTS TO LOSE CONTROL IN THE STEERING. YOU CAN DRIVE AND THE STEERING WILL START JERKING TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT AS YOU ARE DRIVING. IT'S SO SCARY. I GET PANICKED DRIVING IT ANYMORE. I HAVE PUT POWER STEERING IN THE CAR AND WE CHECKED THE POWER STEERING PUMP NONE OF THIS IS AFFECTED SO I AM WORRIED FOR MY SAFETY AND OTHERS. I HAVE SEEN WHERE THERE HAS BEEN MANY RECALLS DUE TO THE STEERING. I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE MY CAR FIXED FOR A RECALL. THE TWO STEERING RECALLS I HAVE FOUND FOR MY CAR I HAVE THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS FOR BOTH RECALLS ON THE STEERING IS 14E044000 AND THE OTHER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER IS 14V153000. I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER SO I HAVE NOT BEEN AWARE OF ANY RECALLS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
WHILE DRIVING ON A STREET AND ALSO ON THE HIGHWAY MY POWER STEERING WARNING WILL APPEAR ON THE INFO DISPLAY AND ALL MY GAUGES SUCH AS GAS AND SPEED WILL FLUCTUATE WITH THE NEEDLE CONSTANTLY GOING UP AND DOWN. I CAN NOT TELL HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE OR THE SPEED I AM GOING. THE CAR THEN SEEMS TO BECOME JERKY IN ITS MOVEMENTS SO I PULL OVER AND TURN IT OFF AND WAIT A FEW MINUTES, BUT THEN IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN MOMENTS LATER. I SEE THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR POWER STEERING HOWEVER MY VIN SHOWS I HAVE NO OUTSTANDING RECALLS AT THIS TIME.

STEERING
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET THIS MORNING, THE 14TH OF OCTOBER, 2019, WHEN OUT OF NOWHERE MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. THE CAR WAS PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING ANY FASTER (AS I WAS ONLY GOING AROUND 30 MPH) I MORE THAN LIKELY WOULD HAVE BEEN THROWN OVER THE SIDE OF THE HILL. MY POWER STEERING RETURNED WHEN I RESTARTED MY CAR BUT I CAN'T DRIVE IN FEAR THAT IT WILL GO OUT AGAIN.

POWER TRAIN
I FILED A REPORT YESTERDAY AFTER MY SONS CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHILE IN DRIVE AFTER HE HAD BEEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT IN THE TURNING LANE ON THE CITY STREET. HE PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL, THE ENGINE REVVED UP,BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE FORWARD, ONLY REVERSE AND PARK. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC AND AFTER THEY PULLED MY TRANNY, TOOK OFF THE FILTER AND PAN, THEY FOUND SOME KIND OF 4 WAY METAL TUBE THAT HAD BROKEN, AND THAT'S WHAT CAUSED THE CAR TO NOT DRIVE FORWARD. I HAD TO HAVE A TRANSMISSION FILTER AND GASKET, THEY HAD TO DRAIN AND REPLACE THE FLUID, A TRANSMISSION TUBE ASSEMBLY, AND NEW TRANSMISSION FLUID WHICH COST ME $602.25. ALSO, MY MECHANIC SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT'S SCREWED UP. AFTER ALL THE MONEY I SPENT TODAY, I COULDN'T AFFORD TO GET IT FIXED AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE ON MY SONS CAR. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR USED FROM A PRIVATE SELLER ON JULY 30, 2019 FOR MY 18 YEAR OLD SON AND WAS NOT INFORMED OF ANY RECALLS UNTIL YESTERDAY WHEN I HAPPENED TO LOOK UP THIS CAR AFTER THE PROBLEM OCCURRED.
