Immediately after fueling vehicle to regular capacity and automatic shutoff - no "topping off". Left the filling station and the car stalled several times, each time in a precarious position such as decelerating to make a turn or coming to a stop at a light. Car dies losing power steering and breaks. Thought this might be bad gas but it has since repeated every time the car is refueled. This is becoming a serious…

This issue started approx 3 weeks ago. The head lights will not stay on they flicker off and on as if i was flashing my lights to alert another driver, when they are actually doing this on its on. This is not only a safety issue, but i'm afraid i will get pulled over by law officials. And my job requires me to have to be at work at night. This is very disturbing when this happens and they stay off at times for 30 to…

Drove to a business and once placed in park, the gear shift became stuck. Called aaa, they were going to tow it, then another driver showed up for aaa and knew just what to do. He takes apart the case that goes around the gear shift and presses on a pink colored emergency park release lever, ( why is that even an option??!!! ) it was obviously not attached to any thing as it fell down into the space around the…
