Car makes a very, very loud screeching sound when started with A/C or heating on (but more commonly with A/C). The sound will sometimes die down or stop once A/C is turned off, but not always. Puddles can trigger the sound as well. Sound can be heard mainly upon inital startup but can occur after car is in motion.
While driving any speed, the vehicle jerked forward. This caused the consumer to rear end another vehicle. The consumer managed to pull over and shut off/restart the vehicle. The dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. The cause was not determined.
The rear wheel froze while driving at 45 mph. This caused the vehicle to skid 8 feet up in the air on dry pavement. The consumer sustained bruises all over his body and received 20 stitches in his elbow.
