Consumer's car was pulling to right and braking to left. Took to dealer, and and they aligned front end, and did repairs on brakes and knuckles. *ak the steering wheel wobbles when the vehicle comes to a stop. There was wind noise from right side of the vehicle. The engine idles rough due to dirty injectors. The vehicle vibrates at speeds of 80-90 MPH due to bent wheel. The vehicle would not start due to a weak battery. The steering moans when turning due to failure of evo sensor on steering column.

We have owned the vehicle for just over a month and it has left us stranded 5 times (unsafe/unreliable) and we have had it towed 3 times. The vehicle did not start all those times. The dealer has given us a big run around trying to fix the problem. Even though we did buy it used it is still under warranty. Our main concern is that we know are afraid that it has been imported from canada and we are having trouble finding the past history on the vehicle. We went to carfax and they only have records fromt the dealer to us and not the original owner. It really is disturbing to not know if they previous owner was having the same problem. Is this a lemon? Will it stop running as we are driving? Will it leave us stranded in a bad section of town? Please direct me as to where to find information in canada. Thank you valerie.

While driving daughter to school, pulled into the parking lot and vehicle stalled, and would not start again. Had vehicle towed to the dealer, and they broke the fuel sending unit. Which they replaced. But, still having problem with vehicle stalling. Engine check light came on and stayed on. They pressurized the tank. Now the gas gauge does read properly.
