 First, this exact same scenario also happened in october 2010. the first incident occurred when i was driving the vehicle, and now this time, when my husband was driving the vehicle. both of us, each have 30+ years of driving experience and neither of us have ever been involved in a crash or experienced this type of loss of control in a vehicle, ever. both incidents occurred while turning a corner at approximately 5 to 15 mph in approximately 1- 3 inches of new snow. the car slid with total loss of steering and brakes, smashing into the curb, breaking the axle, control arm, steering knuckle, etc... there was no control whatsover. this was not ice. this has never ever happened before with any other vehicle we have ever driven. the car did not correct itself even when the steering wheel was released. we believe there is a deficiency in the esp monitoring system. the esp system totally failed while turning. the esp sensors did not detect the situation and did not react at all independent of the driver. the esp system did not use the vehicle's braking system to steer the vehicle back on track. the esp did not initiate any braking intervention at all. it was like all systems just totally malfunctioned. horrible. someone is going to be seriously hurt. i am thankful another vehicle or person was in the area. *tr

 Grinding sound when braking, now seems to have evolved into brake failure, all of a sudden the brake red light it on and the parking brake is on, and will not go off even when directions are followed to disengage parking brake. yellow p light on. car seems to lurch forward at times or hesitate at others. will have to take to local dealer. *tr

 I started to hear a grinding sound from the rear when applying brakes. with only 40 k on car the front brakes should show signs of wear first. the rear brakes have totally worn out first and grinding metal to metal, ruining the rear rotors.

 On june 13, 2008 i was traveling west bound on a typical south florida day, very hot and humid clear day. just then a pick-up truck put out very fast in front of me. i slammed on my brakes with plenty of time to stop, but just before i came to a complete stop, the engine roared and i hit the truck very hard. at first i thought my foot slipped off the brake to the gas, but no way, i broke my foot because i hit the brake so hard. my question is this,is there a known problem with this newcar? *tr
