A car behind me almost hit me from behind due to the sudden stop.another month went by before it started doing it again. This time it veered into the path of a semi tractor trailer. I then called the dealership and they agreed to have it fixed. …”
NHTSA complaint #10722713, filed 2015-06, 113,000 miles“The check engine light has been illuminated as well as the traction control light is on (indicates ABS needs to be serviced) also transmission slips when moving forward. At times when both the engine light and ABS light are on the engine will reduce power. Transmission was replaced at 63,000 for the same thing! Have had to numerous shops who cannot locate issue.
