The steering wheel had a knocking sound. There was a recall on the battery cable, and the pinch bolt has caused a lot of problems. (the problem still exists) the vehicle will knock when turned to the left. The front axle bearings were damaged along with the seal. The battery cables had a short circuit and the cables still have a corrosion problem. The vehicle stalled while driving, the steering wheel locked, and when the vehicle is turned off, it won't start, you must allow to cool down.

While driving vehicle would shut down without prior warning. Power would completely go out, no steeering or hazard lights. Consumer would turn engine off, and start back up. This has occurred on numerous occasions. Dealer was unable to duplicate, so was not able to provide remedy.
Was making a turn after slowing down and steering wheel locked up. Vehicle continued in same direction. Then, approximately 1 minute later steering would unfreeze. Have been having same problem since vehicle bought new. It was an intermittent problem. Have taken to dealership 3 times. Was informed by mechanic cause of steering lock up could not be found.
Ignition and steering locked up, key would not turn, vehicle was parked. There was noise in the right side of the vehicle due to rear outside mirror failure. The transmission slips on accel. There was vibration in steering at 45 mph and up. The high sqealing on rainy days when turning left or right was caused by drive belt malfunctioning. The ignition locked due to cylinder assembly problem.
While driving could feel left side of vehicle is pulling to side where sometimes ir could lose control of vehicle at high speed, and steering could lock to left side without prior warning.
