“The steering wheel seems to have lost all power steering capabilities, very scary! Makes it extremely dangerous when attempting turns! Noticed it luckily as I was pulling out of a large parking lot. Trying to remedy the situation so I can use a car that isn't an accident waiting to happen.”
NHTSA complaint #11005185, filed 2017-07, 90,000 miles“While driving, I slowed down and when turning, my wheel locked up and I had no control over my turn. My ABS light flashed, along with the traction light. The radio turned off and then came back on. The wheel unlocked and luckily I was not turning where someone was stopped.”
NHTSA complaint #10786560, filed 2015-10, 117,000 miles“Any time I proceed to make a turn, my wheel stiffens. Every light in my dashboard lights up. My radio cuts off and car stalls. This is very dangerous. There is a recall for this exact problem with this exact model of car but my VIN is not covered.”
NHTSA complaint #10905153, filed 2016-09, 130,000 miles“As I placed the manual 5-door sedan model into reverse gear and slowly inched out of the parking space, the power to the radio and air conditioning died and a the power steering wheel light came on the dashboard. As I placed the car into first gear and began to move the vehicle forward, great difficulty was felt trying to get the vehicle to turn and the AC and radio kept turning off. As I attempted to enter onto the main street, the vehicle once again had great difficulty turning and almost created an accident. …”
NHTSA complaint #11015625, filed 2017-08, 106,000 miles“I have been having issues with this vehicle ever since I purchased it from a dealership in woodbridge, va. The car's gears does not shift correctly and the engine continuously stalls. If I'm at a traffic light and the light switches from red to green the vehicle jumps as if it's going to cut off. My at light also came on and my check engine light comes on and off. Every time the vehicle's engine light is checked, it's because of the thermostat which I've seen many complaints from owners of the same type of vehicle. …”
