The dealer knew about the defects to this vehicle and refused to fix them after receiving 3 separate estimates. 2 days after I repeatedly went back to the dealership to report these safety hazards the dealer continued to refuse to fix the problems and I had a car accident due to the defective vehicle. The dealer compliance board has a current case against the dealer and he has only agreed to take his vehicle back. The dealer has requested the damage from the motor vehicle accident not be fixed by the insurance company. The damage prior to the sale was so extensive from water or flood damage that the engine is completely ruined. It will not pass emissions. My fear is that the next unsuspecting consumer will be deceived by this dealer and this vehicle and I believe the next person will not be as lucky. I should be dead right now. The airbag never deployed and I believe it should have, which may also indicate that their is also something wrong with the airbag system. There may not even be an air bag in this vehicle even though it states there is one. This dealer will get this vehicle back and I am sure that instead of selling it as a salvage vehicle he will again slap a price tag on it and re-sell it immediately without fixing it.

Engine shuts off when leaving signal light, turning or changing direction of travel. Also has occurred when traveling at highway speeds. Cannot make it happen, it just happens whenever it wants to happen. Numerous complaints have already been reported; 816911, 863413, 825902, 730158, just to list a few. This needs to be corrected before a fatality occurs. In one instance, if I had not been aware of the possiblity of this occuring I would have paniced an D been broadsided! as it was, I was able to steer hard right and paralell the traffic that would have hit me if I had stopped!
