With my engine I have taken my car in for an oil change on time since I've got the car. Than right before one oil change I hear a knock in the engine. So I get an oil change again and it was still making this noise. Following that my air circulation for the fan would stop working at times. My radio electric line seems damaged. Works sometimes.

For several months, the indicator lights in the vehicle have been randomly coming on for one ting or another. The air bag light comes on as well as the engine light. At one point, the gas gauge indicates that the tank in about empty when we have just filled the tank half of the way. Being senior citizens, it is difficult to get a diagnosis on the car without paying beyond your budget, or getting the repairs done. Also the power steering freezes up while driving sometimes.

Recently, I saw an article from a local news station regarding the attorney general going after local car dealerships for not disclosing or fixing recalls for cars sold off of their lot. I purchased my car in February 2015, with no knowledge of any issues or recalls. Upon placing my VIN number into the NHTSA website, I discovered that I have three recalls that have affected my car, having to do with the brakes, transmission and power steering. My car has had issues with its brakes from the get-go, I even went back to websmart to have it fixed with my warranty. Mere weeks after getting it "fixed", the issues returned and I'm not sure if it has to do with this recall or not. My power steering has gone out on me three times while driving, in the little over two years that I have had the car. I am not sure what to do regarding this and could use some help. Thank you, matt.

The air bag doesn't work and the light flashes "service airbag, " and, while pumping the brakes to stop, you have to pumps twice before the car reacts to the command. I had the pads replaced but the car operates the same as before.

While driving 55 mph around a sharp turn my service engine light came on and the radio display read 'engine power reduced' causing the vehicle to reduce speed drastically and an accident narrowly escaped. There is no excuse faulty part or not that my life should be endangered or but at risk by a manufacturer defect or whatever the cause. This needs to be looked into, before someone loses their life!!

The car had a "ticking" sound for 3 weeks. The sound starts when you start the car and does not go away. Last week the car abruptly stop and shut off. When I attempted to re-start the car it smelled like something was burning so I left it go and took it to a mechanic. They say the car is crap..the engine locked up and part of the piston broke off and flew into the motor, damaging it. Thank god we were not on the highway where the speed limit is 70 mph when this happen. Now we are stuck with a car that is not worth repairing and no one wants it for a trade in nor will the loan go away. These cars should be pulled off the market.
