| Electronic Stability Control problems |
While driving 70mph car went into neutral coasting to a stop. I had no control of the gas causing a dangerous sittuation as we coasted to the side of the road. After placing the vehicle into park, it would not start and needed to be towed. Vehicle could not be put into neutral for towing purposes. Repair shop said the timing chain had went out seizing and ruining the engine. 15k repair bill, very dangerous sittuation having no control over a vehicle at high speed highway driving!.
To avoid a head on collision, I was forced off road. When I moved out of the way I immediately applied the breaks which then took some time to respond as if it was blocked or as if I didnt press the pedal. By the time I felt some sort of stopping tension I was put into a pole. Airbags did not deploy.
Cruise control malfunction due to a sensor malfunction in the steering column. As soon as I begin driving, the malfunction message begins and repeats constantly as I drive. This malfunction disables all of the features on the steering wheel. The warning message appears in the navigation screen repeatedly when driving. It is distracting and prevents me from using hands free functions on the steering wheel. The dealer advises it is $1,000 to repair. I never used the cruise control, nor do I need it.
