While traveling 55mph; steering was hard to control/ difficult to turn and very stiff. Rack & pinion was cause of problem. Also, vehicle not shifting into park. Transmission line leaked fluid. Coupling was causing a leak between rubber tubing which was inserted into metal tubing. In addition, fuel rail would also leak/ ABS brakes started to lock up when applied/ water pump was leaking water, and door strap needed to be replaced due to being opened & closing hard. Taking vehicle to dealer to correct major problems.
Cruise control intermittently goes on by itself, engine stalls intermittently, at low speed. Cruise control went on and could not slow car down, then it stalled, losing steering controls. Stopped in the middle of the road across two lanes. Have brought car to mechanic and dealer and they could not find anything. Please look into this, it is extremely dangerous for my family, and we are getting no answers from anyone.
