The indicatior light for low tire pressure comes on but no warning chime is heared. This can be very bad when driving on the interstate. The tire was loosing pressure without me knowing and I had no clue until the vehicle ran off the road due to not being able to control it. The chime never went off. Same with an over heating issue the light came on but I did not know it was over heating until it stated shaving and steaming and I looked at the dash to see the light on.
Car shakes very bad when driving and approaching a stop.
Vehicle makes a knocking noise from the passenger front and rear, when the vehicle goes over bumps and when the vehicle makes turns. The knocking sound can be heard, when the car is parked pushing down on either the front fender back passenger side. Vehicle also sways at highway speed.
You cant put anything in the trunk or have passengers on back seat without car bottoming out. If you exceed 300 pounds in trunk the back wheels go all the way up in car, ride is terrible.
