“My vehicle, has a rough ride, traction light flashes often. I had several repairs done on my front in june 2014, (upper,lower control arms, left and right sides, rotors ,brakes and tires are always needed). On february 2,2015 my left front ball joints and control arms broke and my wheel broke off, I am currently in need of more control arm and strut repair on my right side again! My vehicle clumps and has a rough ride, I am in constant fear driving this vehicle,because of the constant issues with my front end, even after its repaired.”
NHTSA complaint #10682899, filed 2015-02, 82,460 miles“While trying to stop on slippery surfaces 3 out of 5 times my ABS is non existent and my wheels lock up I first noticed this in december 2009. Last night I was driving on a icy snow covered road. I was coming to a stop sign, I applied my brakes and I didn't feel like I was stopping. I gave the pedal more pressure and I started to fishtail almost colliding with a parked vehicle. The next stop sign I came to ABS worked fine. After that my wheels locked up. This vehicle is a complete joke. Also note vehicle is equipped with good snow tires.”
