Just about 2 months ago i exit my vehicle after parking up. As i exit i smelled a burning smell and heard sparks so i stepped away from vehicle asap and then the horn start honking and lights flashing on own. Then the car started up by itself and started to run without me in car and keys in my hand. Police came from noise distubing and took the battery off to stop. After that i couldnt start car so had towed in shop for 5 weeks. Hot out of shop and can start now but now my a.c. and windows doesnt work because mechanic said that something keep blowing those fuses out and if he puts yhem back in then the car will go back to not starting. I am guessing this is part of the recall.
Fuel line leaking under drivers side, passenger seat. There is a considerable amount of fuel leaking. Why wouldnt the manufacturer make the lines from a material that cannot corrode or rust.
Fuel gauge "floats" and then drops to empty. Pretty much always on "empty" now which lights my check engine sensor, but every once in awhile it will rise above empty for a few miles and then drop like a rock again! have been tracking gas mileage with my trip odometer, but having been reading that this "fix" is not always accurate, and people are running out of gas left and right on major, busy highways. As the mileage indicates, I drive more than 100 miles per day and cannot afford to have my car just stop running like some of the other people have mentioned. This is a major safety issue and should have been recalled well before now. Are we going to wait for a repeat of the national airbag recall currently underway, trouble that shattered countless lives, because a large car company is too cheap to fix a problem they are well aware of and make their cars safe? government step in!
