Started car and several warnings popped up on display... Something about "hill assist" not available, "steering assist fault service required", and "service advancetrac". Steering wheel felt like it was still locked... Turns out it was just extremely difficult to turn. I'm 6'3" 200+ lbs. If it's difficult for me to turn, it would be impossible for most people. If this had failed while the car was in motion, someone…

I have the steering issues from defective eps programming that causes pulling to either side. The wipers don't work properly. The seats are hard and positioned wrong. The vehicle is too low. The rear makes a helicopter noise if i open the window while driving. The trans vibrates the car in eco but also shifts very hard in sport. The vehicle shut off while driving more than once. The list of problems go on and on.

Steering at highway speeds through a long curve the steering pulls hard causing difficulty in maintaining desired direction. The symptoms i experience are well documented in class action suit: case5:14-cv-02989-hrl. The epas system coupled with pdc (pull drift compensation) causes the steering effort to be unpredictable. Ultimately…

My vehicle has stalled multiple times during motion and when it was in stationary. There was a message popping up on the dashboard saying "transmission not in park", i took it to multiple dealers to see if they can find the issue and all of them said that their computer isn't detecting the issue that i'm having. So they can't duplicate my concern. I even opened up a lemon law case in nj so hopefully they can help…
