Just got this car from the dealer and there is a gas leak also the key comes out of the ignition with the car on acceleration I have to put it back in and wiggle it to get it off and there's a o-ring sensor leak can't pass the echeck. I've had this car since August and the estimate to get the car fixed to pass the check is over the amount for the car and I am still paying a note when the car is station is leaking gas when it is motion it barely leaks when I park it, it pours out.
I believe it's the security system or something to do with the ignition. I'm not able to start my, all the lights on dash board come on n ac kicks on but the car won't start. When it was the only lights on was the service engine soon, trac off, security light & tire pressure light.
Car cranks wont start it hasbto do with the an electrial system car theft maybe did the ten mint and at im still waiting to get the ignitionswitch and key the recall title n140350 do upset when I bought it in Nov. The two keys I got one spare and I thought the other was an oringnal one neither have the chip so the first I had problems we got it to work a few months now again twice in a week how am I suppose get it to the dealer if I cant get it to turn on this is crazy something has to be done I read do many complaints about the same situation so what do I now thank you donna.
When driving the turn signals will work and then not work at random and this concerns me, it can create a serious and dangerous situation.
Car won't start. The car will try to start up, but will not turn over. It's like the gas has been disengaged. Also, the security light comes on. We have had the car towed several times to the mechanic. We have had the fuel injector and fuel pump replaced. Happens frequently now-am concerned it will stall in traffic and be a safety issue. Have started using the 10 min wait/re-start technique I have read about on the internet and it does work, but that is a "band-aid" not a cure.
Dash making clicking noise, sounds lize hazzard warning noise, yet not activating hazzard lights. Very random. Then most rececently, noise seems to have stop and have seen on 3 occasions smoke from the dash area, near where the steering column meets the dash.
Trim is peeling on doors and on dash.
