My car has auto stop and every time it cranks back up my radio blinks off, my lights blink off, all the lights on my dashboard come on and the error message Steering Assist is Reduced comes on the message center. Sometimes it doesn’t want to crank back up. Today when all that happened the message service stabilitrac also came up. I can’t find any recalls.

When I come to a complete stop and take back off, my car flashes a warning " steering assist reduced. Drive with care" this just started 4 days ago. Within those 4 days, every time it starts back up all lights flash on then back off. My check engine light has not gone back off since 1 day ago. I have done research and I have realized that this is a common problem for this make and model car. Most complaints regard power steering control. I'm wondering what can be done, because there has not yet been a recall for this issue and it is a complete safety hazard, especially with children in the car. I would hate for any lawsuits to come from something that could have been avoided.

Car powered down while driving all the lights lite up on the dashboard. When driving it either speeds up on its own or while driving it will just go slower without me letting up off the gas.

When the left turning signal is on and foot on brakes the vehicle cuts off all lights on dashboard light up and when you put the vehicle in park and try to recrank a message stated no gasoline.

Car went back to dealership monday because of problem I had last year. Lights comes on in dashboard : stabiltrack, engine icon, reduced steering, low fuel. On my way to work monday just made it out my driveway and started up the hill and the lights started flashing. Brakes had to be pushed ask the way to the floor for it to stop rolling back down the hill. I let it roll back to get the car out of street. The car wouldn't turn off when I pressed the start/stop button. Pressed the button again the car turns off but all lights are on in the dash. Press button again and lights go out but the start button is lit. Shift to park comes on dash. It's in park. Couldn't get engine to turn on. Couldn't move gear shift that has no lights on column or dash to tell what gear it's is in. Got car towed to greenway in tuscumbia, al. Had to find a ride to & from work because they didn't have a loner .picked car up tuesday(they said the battery needed to charged & there was a recall they fixed) made it home ok. Went to store, no problem. Got in car to go to work wednesday and it starts acting up again. And when I got out of the car at work, there was smell like the brakes were really hot. Called dealership didn't get through to service but guy said he would get my number & have someone call, no one did. Got in car to leave work the lights started again but I was able to come home with no further incidents. The engine icon was still on though. I'm sick of this car! And I'm tired of going to the dearship every couple of days or every 2 weeks! Buy this lemon back!
