Problem 1: date in: 5/22/07date out: 5/23/07 problem: Brakes or transmission locked up; I had to have the vehicle towed to the dealership. Problem 2: date in: 6/22/07date out: 6/22/07 problem:brakes or transmission locking up. The way that the dealership handled this issue is by disengaging the hill holder function. Additionally, the driver's side frontal airbag did not deploy during a front-end collision; yet the impact of the collision was serious enough to cause $9,200 worth of damages. Furthermore, one week prior to the accident, the passenger airbag detection light was not indicating initiation when there was a passenger, using the seatbelt, in the passenger seat. We had planned on taking the car in to have passenger airbag system assessed. I sent a request to the flatiron imports on 12/5/07, requesting that the entire airbag system be assessed for proper functioning while it is being serviced for the mechanical damages caused by the accident; however, I have not received a confirmation of this request as of 12/12/07.
