“Took it to the service dept. Repeatedly and they never found problems so convienantly we had numerous problems and ended up turning the car in and lossing everything we put in to it and messing up our credit due to we were tired of fighting with the dealership and the manufacturer. So other people need to be aware of these dangerous problems with this car. It stranded me and my 2 children seveeral times not including my mother in law once when we let her borrow it . No one would listen to us so maybe you will ! …”
