Snow tires installersaid my rear brakes were shot. Before long I began to hear metal on metal. The mileage was 40,000. Too soon for brakes to wear out. I had them fixed - $285 + tax. Cabin filter ($12. 87 online) replaced - $21. 95, debris removed $40. Why isn't there a screen at the intake to eliminate rodents?.

While braking to stop at an intersection, the engine surged radically and could not stop vehicle. The car coasted through the intersection before violently jolting to a stop before hitting the curb. The brake pedal was solid as a rock while applying. This happened a second time two days later. Both incidences were reported to the dealer when they could find no problem and suggested perhaps I was either driving using two feet on the pedals, or one foot on both the gas and brake. This was no so. . . ! the dealer has offered to send an outside engineer to investigate problem but the car has been operating without incident and told them I would call if this should happen again. I love the car and traded a 2002 Suzuki which I owned for 10 years and loved it.

When traction control kicks in, the rear end of the vehicle comes forward causing the vehicle to fishtail. I lost control on a straight road because I applied the brakes on a powdered snow covered road. I didn't slam the brakes, I lightly applied them. After going off the road, the car rolled in a violent spin. The nose hit the ground on the front right corner and blew the front right tire. The driver's side then slammed into a rock wall which buckled the roof ten inches and pushed the driver's side pillar post in about eight inches, and pushed the driver's door in almost to the steering wheel. The car spun then it hit the ground two more times and blew both of the driver's side tires. Not one of the eight airbags went off. My top speed that day was 40 mph. I was driving through the mountains and I went off the road and off an embankment and downhill I went. My main concern on that car is that the airbags did not go off. The driver's side window also shattered and I'm still pulling tiny glass slivers out of my left ear and much of it was pulled out of my scalp. I'm not sure if anything can be done about shatterproofing a side window, but if it can be done, it should be, especially when the side airbags aren't going off. The jack was stowed in the trunk in it's proper holding position and the holder broke during the impact and the jack was loose in the back seat of the car where my kids sit. I would feel better if it had a more secure holder or if it could be stowed better for times when the trunk is empty.

Radio changed out 2x after electrical problems, light for air bag has been on for 3 yrs. Brakes have had to get worked on 2x before it hit 50,000, clip on driverside mat broke after 2 months of having car, door panels on both front and back passanger side kept falling off and kept taking car back to fix till they had no replacement parts this car should not be on the road there are many safety issues blind spots because of the design, and all the little issues from 2 batteries replaced to 2 sets of brake jobs to electricals to 3 sets of tires, and the car only has 80,ooo miles or less. I've had it 9 yrs mostly as a second car and always problems including paint. But the safety issues and the crap car we were sold kept it cause nobody in there right mind wants it I am 1st yr owner this car sucks fffffff is what it should rate the car dealers wont fix it they make you come back again and again that the parts have to be found because the plant got washed away and the parts with it.
