THE LEFT REAR TIRE EXPERIENCED A BLOWOUT, WHICH CAUSED CONSUMER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INSTRUCTED TO SEND IN THE DAMAGED TIRE, ONCE THE MANUFACTURER RECEIVED THE TIRE, THEY STATED THE TIRE WAS NOT AT FAULT, BUT THE RIM WAS DUE TO IT LEAKING, AND THERE WAS NO FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY ON THEIR PART, AND THEREFORE THE CLAIM WAS DENIED.MR *JB

POWER DOOR LOCKS WILL UNLOCK REPEATEDLY WITHOUT ANY ACTION FROM THE PASSENGERS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING AND WHEN IT IS UNOCCUPIED. THIS CONDITION HAS CAUSED ALARM TO SOUND FALSELY. PREVIOUSLY, THE DRIVERS SIDE LOCK WOULD NOT UNLOCK ANY OF THE DOORS WHEN TRYING TO EXIT THE CAR. FROM NHTSA'S DATA AND OTHER AUTO WEBSITES IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A CONSISTENT SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS.*AK

CONSUMER UNLOCKED CAR USING KEYLESS ENTRY REMOTE. PLACED CHILD IN VEHICLE BACK SEAT. CONSUMER ACCIDENTALLY LEFT KEY ON THE SEAT, AND CHILD WAS LOCKED IN VEHICLE. CONSUMER STATES THAT THERE IS ONLY A 10 MINUTES ALLOWANCE BEFORE VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY LOCKS.
