Filed Nov 6, 2018 · Airbags, Steering · 100,000 miles · ID · 3 injuries

Purchased this car spring 2017 paid in full to prior owner. Asked prior owner when test drove car how come all the service lights up and including air bag warning light on dash collum are lit up? Owners response "not sure but has been like that for as long as can remember we don't think you should worry?" a week later notice the car wants to accelerate on its own? Just bolts on my mom and I ? Within that month both passenger right side doors front & back power windows will no longer work at all? Steering wheel starts making a horrible sound and smell check steering fluid empty replaced fluid only to find out it just poor's out steering will lock up and can't drive most days? Notice same issue with radiator? My far worse experience with this car was not knowing how heavy the trunk was as well as not knowing it will fall back shut on own? This happened to me unloading groceries one day crashing down on my head shoulders and mid back pinning me inside trunk dazed and hurt until my son saw me trapped and pulled trunk off my body? Should of went to the e.r. Was in astronomical amount of pain but didn't have medical insurance so treated myself at home? Took 2 month's before bruising and swelling finally went down ? Cut on my head took longer to heal? This has accured more than once and I'm absolutely terrified to go near the trunk at all now without my son to help me? Interior light will stay on up to an hour after starting and driving the car making night driving dangerously difficult and fearful! Passenger front seat has never worked can't adjust seating at all due to it being power seats? I'm terrified every time I get into my car worried it's going to malfunction resulting in hurting my family and I or anyone that could be involved in an accident caused by this monster of a car? Please help me? This car is scary
