I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE PURCHASE. I USE THE AIR CONDITION. IF I AM DONE, I TURN THE AC OFF. AFTER USING THE AC, THERE IS A FOUL ODOR THAT ARISES. I HAVE TRIED TO OPEN UP THE VENTS. I HAVE CHECKED UNDERNEATH THE CAR. I HAVE OPENED THE FRONT WHERE IT LEADS TO THE CABIN FILTER. I HAVE CHANGED THE CABIN FILTER SEVERAL TIMES. THE ODOR STILL PERSISTS. THE ONLY THING THAT THE CAR DEALERS HAVE TOLD ME TO DO WAS TO RUN THE HEATER AFTER USING THE AC. IT IS REDUNDANT IF I HAVE TO RUN THE HEATER IN A HOT DAY.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE AIRBAG LIGHT FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD. IT HAS NEVER DONE THAT BEFORE; MY VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN TEXAS, SPENT SOME TIME IN MARYLAND DURING THE WINTER, AND NOW IT'S IN VERMONT. DURING THOSE TIMES, THIS WAS NEVER AN ISSUE, UNTIL NOW. I ASSUME THAT THE COLD WEATHER IN VERMONT HAS SOMETHING TO WITH IT AND MAY BE AFFECTING THE SENSORS. THE TOTAL MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE IS UNDER 36,000.

I WAS DRIVING AROUND ONE DAY WITH MY WINDOWS DOWN, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT STARTED RAINING, I WENT TO ROLL MY WINDOWS UP AND SURPRISINGLY THEY DIDN'T WORK. NONE OF THEM. WHEN I GOT BACK TO MY HOUSE AND PARKED I TRIED TO SEE IF IT WAS A FUSE PROBLEM BUT NO SUCH LUCK. THE LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTONS WOULDN'T WORK EITHER. A FEW DAYS LATER I DROVE MY CAR AGAIN AND THE WINDOWS ROLLED UP ABOUT HALF WAY UNTIL THEY FROZE UP AND DIDN'T WORK ANY MORE. NOW, WHENEVER I'M DRIVING THEY SPONTANEOUSLY DECIDE TO WORK. I CAN'T PARK ANYWHERE FOR TOO LONG BECAUSE MY WINDOWS ARE STUCK ROLLED DOWN AND ANYONE COULD BREAK INTO MY CAR. BESIDES THAT ONE TIME IT RAINED I HAVE NEVER LET MY SIDE PANELS GET WET, THE WINDOWS MALFUNCTIONED BEFORE IT HAD RAINED. IN ADDITION TO THE WINDOWS, MY TRUNK ALSO DECIDED IT WASN'T GOING TO WORK. ORIGINALLY THE LATCH HAD GOTTEN STUCK AND I'M NOT SURE HOW LONG IT HAD BEEN THAT WAY BECAUSE I DON'T OFTEN USE MY TRUNK. BUT ONE DAY, PARKED AT SAFEWAY I TRIED TO POP THE TRUNK BUT IT WAS STUCK. FINALLY I GOT MY DAD TO HELP AND WE GOT IT OPEN. HOWEVER, NOW IT REFUSES TO STAY LOCKED. IT WILL STAY CLOSED UNTIL I GO OVER A BUMP AND THEN IT POPS OPEN AND IT'S REALLY DANGEROUS BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR. I HAVE TRIED LOCKING IT WITH THE KEY BUT THAT DOESN'T WORK EITHER. THIS WAS A NEW 2012 CAR SO I WAS CONFUSED AS TO HOW I SPENT $20,000 AND GOT A DEFECTIVE CAR! IT'S PRETTY EMBARRASSING TO DRIVE IT AROUND NOT TO MENTION IT'S NOT SAFE. I HAVE HAD A FEW OF MY MECHANIC FRIENDS LOOK AT IT HOPING WE COULD FIX THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING THE FUSE BUT IT JUST DIDN'T WORK.

THIS IS JUST A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ABOUT THE AIRBAG RECALL, SAFETY ISSUE, NO INCIDENT OR ACCIDENT. I SEE FROM THE NHTSA REPORT THAT MY VEHICLE IS ON THE RECALL LIST, BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED AND I CALLED A DEALERSHIP AND THE PERSON ACTED LIKE THEY DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT A RECALL. I WANT TO GET MY CAR CHECKED OUT, AND I AM NOT GOING TO PAY FOR IT. HOW DO I DO THIS?

I FOUND A CRACK ON MY CAR'S WINDSHIELD GLASS. I AM SURE THAT IT HAPPENED BECAUSE OF TEMPERATURE VARIATION. NOTHING WRONG HAPPENED TO MY CAR LIKE NO ONE HIT ANYTHING OR SOMETHING FELL ON THE CAR. I THINK MANUFACTURER SHOULD CONSIDER THE TEMPERATURE VARIATIONS IN THEIR MIND WHEN THEY ARE DESIGNING ANY PARTS OF THE CAR. IN ALL MODELS LIKE ME HAS A GAP BETWEEN WINDSHIELD AND BODY OF THE CAR. IF THAT GAP IS FILLED WITH ICE IT WOULD NOT ALLOW GLASS TO EXPAND WHEN TEMPERATURE GOES UP. COMPANY SHOULD FIX THAT GAP IN ALL OF ITS MODELS AND PROVIDE NEW GLASS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS A CRACK. IF CONSUMERS HAVE FIXED ALREADY MANUFACTURER SHOULD PAY FOR THAT. *TR

IT FELT AS THOUGH I WAS DRIVING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL AND HIT THE UP LEVER TO ACCELERATE. THE PEDAL FELL AWAY FROM MY FOOT AND I IMMEDIATELY PUT IN THE CLUTCH. AT THAT POINT THE RPMS SHOT UP TO OVER 6000 AND THE ENGINE RACED WILDLY. I MOVED THE SHIFTER OUT OF GEAR (WITH CLUTCH STILL IN) AND COASTED ALONG FOR WHAT WAS PROBABLY 30-60 SECONDS. AT THAT POINT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL POPPED UP AND THE WHOLE EVENT WAS OVER. I STOPPED FOR GROCERIES AND LOOKED AT THE PEDAL AND FLOOR MAT. I COULD SEE NO OBSTRUCTION AND THE MAT SEEMED TO BE WHERE IT HAD BEEN FOR WEEKS. CONTINUING ON MY WAY HOME I WAS DRIVING ON LEVEL ROAD AT ABOUT 30-35 MPH. THERE WAS A CAR MERGING IN AND I SPED UP TO GET IN FRONT OF THEM WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. AGAIN I POPPED THE CLUTCH, RPMS SHOT UP, ENGINE RACING. THIS TIME I PRIED AT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WITH MY FOOT AND IT POPPED UP. THE EVENT WAS OVER IN AROUND 30 SECONDS. *TR
