| While driving to work on the highway 65-mph the engine shuts off without warning, the instrumental panel starts acting up as if you are turning on and off the key. they found a lose wire to the instrumental cluster on the second time they replaced the instrumental cluster. it has been taken back six times and now the dashboard shuts down and i lose lights, signals, and other electronic features. i have lost power steering and brakes in between. they offered me an extended warranty??? it is a shame that a consumer who buys a car from a dealership has to go through the grinder just to get out of their lemon. i just want to get out of this vehicle. *tr | |||

| While driving on a city road with my foot on the gas at 35-40mph, the transmission erratically shifted into a lower gear on the transmission, causing the engine rpms to near instantaneously to go from 1750-2000rpms to just over 4000rpms. through the rpm increase the vehicle maintained the previous 35-40mph speed. ultimately, was forced to brake to bring the engine rpms down. *tr | |||
