On the morning of July 5 2008, my daughter was driving the car in the description above she was a mile from home when she ran off of the edge of the road and when she tried to pull her car back onto the highway she could not control it, the car went off and crash into a deep ditch and hit a tree. She was badly injured but the passenger in the car was kill from a head injured. I know that the national highway traffic safety personal came out and investigater the scene, we never find out what cause the car to have no control, so now that there is a recall for this car because of the key turning in the ignition and fall out, I need to know if or what I can do to see if this is what cause her to crash. We no long have this vehicle but I am hoping that there is a way to find out and do something about this. After the crash her keys was in the floor in the vehicle. Is there some way to find out the report that highway traffic safety filed..updated 10/02/14

Check engine light illuminated and vehicle had stalled and would not start, dealer stated the problem was with emissions and that the gas cap wasn't tight enough, vehicle was taken to dealer again and the crankcase sensor was replaced, however when consumer went to start vehicle it would not start, possible ignition or engine problem.

This vehicle turned off while driving 15-20mph. This happened twice, both on hot summer days. Each time I was changing lanes, turning to the right when the car shut off. This leaves you with no control in the middle of traffic. Once you get the car out of the way and wait a 1-2 minutes the car will start up on the first or second try. This car also refuses to start about 3-5 times per week. You turn the key and get nothing. Or you turn the key and get radio and air but nothing else. Sometime it can take 10-15 tries before the car will actually start. Dealer has been "unable to duplicate the problem" and has said that there are "no codes stored in the computer".
