  STEERING, SUSPENSION

  BRAND NEW CAR DRIVES SOMEWHAT ERRATIC. TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER FOR ALIGNMENT CHECK. WAS ADVISED BY DEALER THAT CAR IS DELIVERED WITH SUSPENSION ADJUSTED OUTSIDE OF MANUFACTURERS SPECIFICATIONS. NO REASON GIVEN WHY. I CONSIDER CAR UNSAFE AS IT DOESN'T DRIVE AS EXPECTED. CHECKING SOME OWNER WEBSITES, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. *TR

  FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 5 MILES PER HOUR AND MY CAR STARTED LOSING POWER......LIKE IT HAD A CLOGGED FUEL FILTER. BRAND NEW 2 WEEKS OLD I THOUGHT NOT POSSIBLE. I TRIED TO SAFELY GET IT TO THE LEFT LANE DODGING TRAFFIC WITH MY SLOW MOVING CAR. IT WENT TO 20 MPH AND IT DID NOT COMPLETELY STOP BUT REFUSED TO GO FASTER THEN 20 MPH. GOT HOME WITH IT LET IT SIT HALF AN HOUR. STARTED RIGHT UP AND RAN FIND. DEALER CHECKED HPFP DISINTEGRATED INSIDE ITSELF SENDING METAL SHAVINGS THROUGH OUT. COMPLETE FUEL SYSTEM REPLACED.....NICE FOR A 2013 BRAND NEW CAR. WHAT HAPPENS THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENS WILL THE DEALER REPLACE AGAIN? *TR *JS
