WHEN I AM DRIVING, THE CAR WILL SHUT ITSELF OFF AND GIVE ME A MESSAGE SAYING THAT THE FOBS HAVE LEFT THE VEHICLE WHEN THEY HAVEN'T. AT TIMES, I ALSO GET A MESSAGE TELLING ME THE KEY FOB WAS NOT DETECTED WHEN TRYING TO GET IN AND/OR START THE CAR. THE FOBS BATTERIES HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND A LOCAL DEALER CANNOT FIND/DUPLICATE THE ISSUE.

A FEW DAYS AGO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL IT WAS NOT SERIOUS BUT IF CONTINUED, TO HAVE THE CODE CHECKED. I HAD NOT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO, BUT ALL SEEMED TO BE RUNNING NORMALLY. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY LAST NIGHT AND THE THERMOSTAT LIGHT CAME ON AND SAID SOMETHING REGARDING THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE CAME ACROSS THE MESSAGES. I DROVE TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION AND CHECKED UNDERNEATH THE HOOD, AND THE ENGINE SEEMED FINE...NOT VERY HOT TO THE TOUCH SO I DECIDED TO TRY AND TAKE IT TO PEP BOYS TO HAVE THEM CHECK IT. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON, THE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ILLUMINATED AND THE MESSAGE WAS GONE, HOWEVER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. THE PEP BOYS TECHNICIAN CHECKED THE CODE, THE CODE THAT WAS READ WAS P0128. I SPOKE WITH THE TECHNICIAN AND HE HAD SAID HE HAD SEEN A LOT OF THIS ISSUE WITH THE 200 MODELS AND ADVISED ME TO CHECK THE RECALL...WHICH DOES NOT HAVE MY VEHICLE FOR ANY.

CAR STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING. STALLED 4 TIMES 12/10/17 THEN WAS DRIVING ROUGH, AS I WAS GOING DOWN THE STREET THE RED LIGHTING BOLT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, PARKING LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. WENT TO THE GAS STATION TO PUT GAS IN, STARTED CAR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO DRIVE. IT TOOK AROUND 8-10 MINUTES TO GET THE CAR TO GO INTO DRIVE. THERE WAS ALL KINDS OF WARNINGS GOING ACROSS THE SCREEN SAYING ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION SERVICE IMMEDIATELY AND TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. SO I TAKE THE CAR IN AND THE TCM IS NEEDING REPLACED AND THE ENGINE MAY NEED REPLACED. THIS IS NOT OK FOR A 2015 CAR TO HAVE THIS MANY PROBLEMS.

IN LATE AUGUST 2017 I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, WITHIN 60 DAYS AN ALARM LIGHT CAME ON AND SOUNDED OFF. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE SERVICE DEPT, AND WAS TOLD AN ADJUSTMENT WAS MADE AND THE CAR WOULD BE FINE. A FEW DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED, THIS TIME I WAS TOLD THE CAR NEEDED A TRANSMISSION; A 4 WAS PUT IN THE CAR INSTEAD OF A 2 AND IT WOULD BE 6 MONTHS TO A YEAR BEFORE THE PART WOULD BE AVAILABLE, BECAUSE THERE WAS A BACK ORDER ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM. DUE TO MANUFACTURING, THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE AND THERE IS NO RECALL, THE CARS ARE BEING REPAIRED AS THEY ARE BROUGHT IN. I WAS ALSO TOLD TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE CAR I SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY OTHER PROBLEMS OTHER THAN THE CAR MAY STALL. WELL, THE GEARS ARE STARTING TO SLIP AND IT TAKES A COUPLE SECONDS TO GET IN GEAR WHEN PULLING OFF FROM AN IDLE POSITION, ALONG WITH THAT THE ALARMS ARE STILL GOING OFF. THE ISSUE THAT THE CAR COULD JUST CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING IS UNNERVING BY ITSELF. I NO LONGER FEEL LIKE I HAVE A SAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE. I CAN'T CONTINUE PUTTING MYSELF AT RISK. THE CAR IS STILL UNDER THE FULL WARRANTY.

TAKATA RECALL FEBRUARY 2017, I WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY OF MY MOMS HOUSE WHEN I HEAR A RINGING NOISE IN MY CAR, THE CAR WASN'T MOVING; IT WAS TURNED ON AND PARKED. IT APPEARED ON MY DASH AND SAID SERVICE AIR BAG SENSOR. THE LIGHT STAYED ON AND NEVER WENT OFF. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NO RECALL ON IT SO THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME UNLESS I PAID THE $200 TO GET IT LOOKED AT AND FIXED. A FRIEND OF OURS DROVE OUR CAR AND ENDED UP GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. HE REAR ENDED A POLICE OFFICER AND THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED, PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT, THE SENSOR LIGHT WAS ALREADY ON. WHICH IS A MAJOR CONCERN FOR ME. THE WHOLE FRONT END OF MY CAR WAS DAMAGED AND NEEDS COMPLETELY REPAIRED ALONG WITH THE OTHER VEHICLES REAR END.

THE "SERVICE AIR BAG SYSTEM" CONSTANTLY COMES ON AND OFF. SOME TIMES IT STAYS ON FOR DAYS. SOMETIMES IT JUST CONSTANTLY TURNS ON AND OFF CONTINUALLY DINGING. ITS VERY FRUSTRATING. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I AM IDLE, OR DRIVING. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON TO WHEN IT TURNS ON AND OFF. I HAVE HAD IT SERVICED AT THE DEALER 3 TIMES NOW. THEY TELL ME ITS JUST A SENSOR OR WIRING BUT IT STILL CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN MAY AND THIS IS DECEMBER AND I AM STILL DEALING WITH THIS ALL THE TIME.

NHTSA ODI 11051823

MY CAR HAS SHUT OFF 3 TIMES JUST THIS WEEK WHILE DRIVING. EACH TIME I WAS IDLING AT A STREET LIGHT. THE DASH SAYS TO PUT CAR BACK IN PARK AND THEN IT TAKES A COUPLE OF TRIES TO RESTART IT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID I HAVE NO OIL. BUT I JUST HAD AN OIL CHANGE NOT TOO LONG AGO AND I HAVE NO LEAKS. THIS CAR IS CONSUMING WAY TOO MUCH OIL. NO WARNING LIGHT CAME ON THAT I WAS LOW ON OIL. I WAS IN A YIELDING LEFT HAND TURNING LANE WHEN THE CAR SHUT OFF 2 OF THE 3 TIMES. IF IT HAD HAPPENED A FEW SECONDS LATER I COULD HAVE BEEN T-BONED WITH MY SON IN THE CAR ON THAT SIDE. VERY DANGEROUS!!!!! THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED.

ON NOVEMBER 29, 2017 AT APPROXIMATELY 5:15 PM, WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25MPH IN TRAFFIC ON A TWO LANE. I HIT THE BRAKE TO STOP, NO BRAKES, AND I HIT THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME.

I WAS ABLE TO STEER THE CAR IN THE RIGHT SIDE LANE AND EVENTUALLY WAS ABLE TO STEER INTO A PARKING LOT; STILL WITH NO BRAKES. I LOOKED DOWN TO PULL UP THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND SAW THE SHIFTER IN NEUTRAL. I THEN PUT THE SHIFTER IN PARK AND THE CAR FINALLY STOPPED. I DO NOT YET HAVE THE POLICE REPORT. I DID NOT RECEIVE A TICKET, BUT WAS TAKEN BY AMBULANCE TO THE HOSPITAL.

WITHIN THE LAST WEEK, MY CAR HAS TURNED OFF TWICE WHILE DRIVING IT. THE FIRST TIME I WAS GOING DOWNHILL ON AN S-CURVE AND THE ENGINE TURNED OFF AND A MESSAGE APPEARED ON MY DASHBOARD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND START. THE SECOND TIME I WAS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND THE CAR JUST SUDDENLY TURNED OFF AND THE SAME MESSAGE APPEARED. I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND HAD TO THROW IT IN PARK WHILE OTHER CARS WERE TRYING TO GO AROUND ME WHILE I TRIED TO RESTART IT. WHEN IT DID RESTART IT, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND IT ALSO HAD A FLASHING LIGHTNING BOLT. I WAS GOING TO GO GET THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CHECKED THE FOLLOWING DAY, BUT WHEN I TURNED MY CAR ON IN THE MORNING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS GONE.
