PULLED INTO GROCERY STORE GENTLEMAN CAME OVER TO ME AND SAID SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH EITHER MY TAILLIGHTS OR BRAKE LIGHTS, THEY DISAPPEAR WHEN STEPPING ON BRAKE.

ONE RECALL I KNOW WAS REGARDING SOMETHING WITH REAR LIGHTING. HAD NO PROBLEMS AND NO COMPLAINTS BEFORE TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE.

THE CAR LOST POWER STEERING AND WAS VIRTUALLY INCAPABLE OF DRIVING. THIS ONLY OCCURS WHEN TRYING TO PARK OR DRIVING AT VERY LOW SPEEDS. I WAS UNABLE TO PARALLEL PARK AND AS A RESULT IT TOOK OVER 30 MINUTES OF EFFORT TO TRY AND GET MY CAR CORRECTLY INTO THE SPOT. I HAD TO KEEP SHUTTING THE CAR OFF AND TURNING IT BACK ON TO TRY AND GET THE WHEEL TO TURN. THIS WOULD ONLY BRIEFLY FIX THE STEERING FOR A MATTER OF SECONDS AND WAS STILL HARD TO TURN DURING THOSE SECONDS. EVENTUALLY, I JUST GAVE UP AND MOVED MY CAR INTO A SPOT THAT DID NOT REQUIRE PARALLEL PARKING. HOWEVER, THIS TOO WAS AN ISSUE TO PARK. I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE NUMEROUS TIMES AND IT POSSES AS A SERIOUS SAFELY ISSUE WHEN USING THE CAR. *TR
