Car speeds up without pressing the gas petal and it's hard to stop it when in motion on interstate it stopped out of nowhere and turned off with an 18 wheeler behind me like to have killed me got car in neutral finally forcefully praying that jesus protect me because it would not shift into gear and pulled over to side of road. I'm scared to drive my car. Driving down road steering wheel locks up causes engine to shake whole car and backfires my car rides really rough. Messed up power steering has caused my blinkers not to work now. I'm really sad. The engine light comes on every time I put gas in my car. The transmission acts up and when driving my car it's like it doesn't know what gear it should be in so it jerks really bad.

My vehicle was one in the ignition switch recall. However, since I bought the vehicle ever so often and more and more the gauges will go crazy all lights (check engine, power steering, antitheft, etc) will all go on at once! This happens as I am driving it and without warning (on the highway, or just driving in the city). The car acts as if I am pressing the gas and brakes at the same time and I can't steer the car! This needs to become a recall as I know of numerous other cars this is happening to. Just look online! They can never find anything when I take it in and someone will end up dying if this doesn't get resolved.

My check engine light was on. I took it to find out why it was on and was told that it was probably because of the gas cap not being tight enough. About 3 days later, I find a puddle of gasoline underneath my car. It was dripping from the tank. Then, I took it in to a nearby shop and they called me this morning and told me that the seal on my gas tank is bad. So, I'm having to pay to get the whole gas tank replaced. I looked up recalls, and I notice that they had this problem with the 2007 model of my vehicle (one year older than my car).
