“Airbag light is on constantly - never turns off. Seat belt light will sometimes come on even when seat belt is secure. Fuel pump doesn't stop running after engine is shut off. While driving, all lights will come on on dash and gauges/headlights will flicker then car will die. Has happened more than three(!) times at night on busy highway with 2 toddlers in car!!! Had to pull off road in complete darkness. I am fearful of driving this car. I will not drive at night anymore.”
