ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPX 30-40 MPH AND CAR STARTED SMELLING LIKE SMOKE, STARTED MAKING A HIGH PITCHED HUMMING SOUND, THE ABS BRAKE LIGHT, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALL CAME ON AND THE SMOKE GOT WORSE, SCARED IT MAY HAVE BEEN A FIRE UNDER MY HOOD. I CHECKED ALL OF THE RECALLS AND MY CAR DOES NOT FALL UNDER ANY OF THEM ALTHOUGH I SAW MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS HERE ON THE SITE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY HAVING CHILDREN IN THE CAR. MY CAR IS NOW AT THE DEALER AND WAS THERE JUST LAST WEEK FOR ANOTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. I WILL CONTINUE TO CHECK THE SITE SINCE THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER. PLEASE CONTAT ME WITH ANY INFO AS THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS!

ENGINE
MY ENGINE LIGHT HAS TURNED ON AND THE READING SAYS IT'S CYLINDER #2 MISFIRE. IT CAME OUT OF NO WHERE AND FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN AND HEARD IT IS A COMMON ISSUE. MY CAR IS BASICALLY BRAND NEW AND VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF BUT IT HAS NEEDED EVERY RECALL AND FOR SOME REASON SOMETHING THIS SERIOUS AND COMMON IS NOT COVERED. IT SHAKES WHILE IT IDLES IT'S NOT RUNNING GREAT AND THIS COULD BRING ON MANY MORE PROBLEMS.
