There were noises coming from the steering wheel and column. The dealer was unable to detect. The suspension creaks/pops while driving after a cold start, the noises fade after the vehicle is warm. The rack and pinion was replaced. The steering column collapsed on the consumers foot while driving and while head on with an 18 wheeler. The vehicle drifted into oncoming traffic. Dealer installed a new sector shaft. The brake pedal was spongy, the tires started to dry crack(the consumer was advised to keep an eye on), and the center console would not latch shut.
Consumer has rented on several occasions and everytime he experienced the same problem. Gas pedal being too close to brake pedal, when consumer is braking foot is half way on the accelerator.
Hand brake releases on its own without warning. Parked car today on slight incline and exited car (engine not running), heard a loud bang (brake released) and car started to roll away. Wife was in car and successfully got her leg over console and applied foot brake (hand brake would not engage).
Because of the location of the heater outlet relative to the gas pedal, I am unable to easily switch between the accelerator and the brake pedal; particuraly in emergency, panic situations where it is necessary to move immediately from one pedal to the other. I have shoe size 13 0or 14.
