“Takata recall I have had to make many repairs on this vehicle. However, now the lifters in the engine collapsed. The vehicle only has about 87,000 miles on it. This is unacceptable. There have been many complaints about this vehicle and the lifters collapsing. We are a one income family and the repairs to this vehicle are astronomical. Well over 3500.00 dollars. This vehicle is not drivable and has been sitting for a year now at my mechanics. The vehicle is of no use to me and has become a huge paper weight now. The worst part is I still owe on the vehicle too. …”
NHTSA complaint #10958860, filed 2017-03, 85,287 miles“While driving, in pitch black darkness on 6/10/2016 around 1:00 am, my headlights suddenly went off. The only way I could obtain lights was using the high beams. Low beams do not work and high beam only works in manual on/off mode. We checked the lamps and fuses. All are in excellent condition. I have no lights while driving or in park. The side view mirrors move on there own and at any time, while driving , in park and when the car is not running. This has been going on since the door panel recall was repaired. The dealer has informed me that there is no recall on that either. …”
