the alternator that was supposedly recalled and fixed broke once again.
Airbag light stays on. Afraid to drive car that the air bag will not deploy in case of accident or go off unexpectedly. I noticed it before I put the car in drive. Came on while idling.
The alternator went out for the third time The car just died going down the highway The problem was confirmed by the dealership no warning lights at all We had the recall done once then I had to repair it and now it's out again
The vehicle has a continental system in it that I cannot explain where it came from or how it ended up in the vehicle and it has caused my vehicle to drive horribly and it will not even start a times and it has even sped out of control at times it does not allow the air system meaning heat and air conditioning to work or the touch screen and it causes all kinds of weird noises in the vehicle also has a system called autoliv in it which is something Daimler which is not part of Christ anymore I found out at this time
After filling the car with gasoline, I get a strong odor of gasoline in the cabin of the car. After the fuel level gets to about 7/8 full the issue goes away. After further inspection the odor seems to be strongest in the passenger side aft wheel well. Excessive fuel vapors are harmful to people and could cause explosion or fire.
The car won't tell me when I'm too close to another vehicle now and I can't use the cruise control either and the steering wheel is shaking while driving
The problem I have is with the engine coolant system and the vehicles electrical system the cooling system is not operating the way that is supposed to be in the electrical system keeps malfunctioning the check engine light keeps coming on and off the car is not idling the way that is supposed to be idling I’ve already replaced the humidity control module three timesAnd when I’m on the highway if I go to fast the front of the car start shaking
Fuel tanks are bad and always out of stock.
