The antilock brake system indication light illuminated and anti-lock brakes do not function. Check the message boards on the internet and you will see alot of these problems with the same make and model vehicle. Also the egr valve problem where the vehicle clogs with carbon build up causing the check engine light to illuminate intermittenly and the vehicle stalls out. The problems happen to enough of the same make and model vehicles that there should be a recall.

Car has a rotten egg smell. Tech said to use low grade gas instead of high grade gas & that is what we have done. The car still has a rotten egg smell. The car starts to ping after 2,500 miles after each oil change. After adding a half quart of oil the car stops pinging. I have my oil changed every 3,000 miles as recommended. The car on over 20 different occasions has completely shut off most times this occurs when I am coming to a stop at an intersection. One time my husband, two children and myself were in the car driving down a steep hill at a park at a slow speed & the car shut off. Fortunately we have not been in any accidents due to these issues. I do not feel I should have to be adding oil to a new car every 2,500 miles after each oil change. The dealership tells me it is normal for my car to tap when the oil is low and that my car is not out of oil it is only a quart short when the tapping begins. They have never been able to duplicate the stalling and therefor tell me they can't do anything about it. I have never had so many problems with any of my other cars. I leased a new car so that I wouldn't have to worry about the safety of my children and having my car in for service all of the time.

Intermittent stalling problem/unsteady idle experienced over the last year and a half. Occurs in traffic when coming to a stop and when making turns. Have had a couple of close calls; tends to get your full attention. 3 visits to dealer and factory involvement have not solved problem.

At 9k miles the car stalled while at stop lights - dealer said they forgot to update the computer chip in the car - at 21k miles the air conditioner and turn signals failed and the car would shift hard while accelerating at 15-20 MPH then again at 50 MPH - also hard shift at 15 MPH on the down shift - dealer said it needed a new transmission at 21k miles !!! New transmission put in and I drove car for 11 days - exact same prob reocurred (air & turn signals failed & hard shift) - dealer said it was the drive train - they took it apart and lubed it then returned car to me - drove car for 4 days and exact same prob reocurred (air and signals failed and hard shift) - dealer said it was an exposed wire which they replaced - picking up car tomorrow so we'll see if the same problem happens a fourth time .
