Filed Jan 9, 2017 · Electrical, Engine · 107,000 miles · CA

My front tires feel like they are going to break off the vehicle due to the lower ball joints,steering control arm, inner and outer tie rods; accelerates all by itself. Will not lock shifter with key out of ignition. Ecm is faulty because it shuts the lights off,turns engine,all lights, off . Unpredictably! Seat belts do not engage when stopping. If I were to be critically injured because of malfunctioning of said vehicle? Who would take responsibility of my safety and well being? This all happens while operation of vehicle. Traveling on the freeway at 55 MPH. Abs malfunctions as well even when driving 15 MPH.

While crossing an intersection the consumer's vehicle stalled right in the middle of the intersection. After a few tries the vehicle was restarted. After driving a few feet the vehicle stalled once again. Also the windshield wipers work intermittently when it rained. When the wipers were on intermittent they would move very fast for that speed.

I did not receive and owners manual, and would like to know if I am entitled to receiveve one. Also I would like to know if I am entitled to receiveve a copy of any and all factory warranties. I was told, by a third party that catalyc converter is covered by factory warranty up to 8yrs or 80,000 miles and that applies even though I am not the original buyer of the car. If this applies to me, I would like to know how I can go about getting a copy of the owners manual as well as the factory warranties. I would like to know if I can have any recall repairs done or if the statute of limitations has run out on that. I really like this car.
