| As i took off from a stop light, the van jerked so hard , it felt as if it was hit from behind. the next light within 5 miles, the same thing from a stop. a few days later it was much worse and the service stability control system code came up. after having it checked( immedialely), there was no code found in the vans computer. it didn't show that it ever came up. this could be fatal, especially at high speeds. when the code comes up and a mechanic can't get a reading to address the problem. doesn't that indicate a problem ? | |||

| I bought a 2007 terraza in april of last year. i have had nothing but trouble from the start. the brakes started making noise in the first week. the dealer cleaned the pads, but that did not work. they eventually replaced them ,but it still squeals. then the emergency break light would come on even though the brake was never used, and the cruise control would not engage. i brought it back again. they said that these problems were related and it had to do with wiring. the back end was making a terrible thumping sound every time i would go over the slightest of uneven surfaces. they told me the gas tank strap was loose, and they tightened it ,but it did not solve the problem. i took it back and insisted that a technician ride with me to hear the sound. long story short on this problem, they said they had to call headquarters and many terrazas have the same problem. they had to replace the whole back axel, and had the van for two weeks. after that, i too had trouble with the automatic doors coming open for no apparent reason. twice, i came out of the store to find m y door wide open. i count myself lucky since it was better than them opening while driving with my kids. back again. i was told they recalled the doors, but i cannot find any record of a recall on the web. i am calling again today because i have had trouble lately with the van not wanting to start on at least four occasions or starting but wanting to die when put in gear. when i bought the van, it was a program car and had 20,000 mi. it has been 9 mos. and now has 30,000 miles. should i be experiencing this many problems on a vehicle with only 30,000 miles??? i haven't with any other car. could i have a lemon??? i certainly would not recommend a terraza to anyone!!!! the service people have been pretty accommodating and fixed most of the problems, however, i'm a little scared of the safety issues here. what else might be wrong that will creep up later?? *tr | |||
