| Description of the problem | Seat: in august 2019, while my son was driving my car with both hands on the steering wheel and me in the front passenger seat on a city street the driver seat back started to fold forward to the point my son was screaming and scared not knowing what was happening he had to make an abrupt exit off the road into a parking lot we were passing. Once safely parked he pulled the latch on the side that controls the seat back and made the seat go back into place. Now as of may 2020, the seat will only go backwards and is stuck in that position and will not go forward at all. Suspension: i have had this car since the beginning of april 2014, i have had the suspension done i know at a minimum of 5 times to date, the last being 7/2/2020 and currently being told it needs to be fixed again!!!!!! This is ridiculous!!! Engine: the check engine alert comes on every time i cut the car on for the last 2 years or so. Each time it was taken to the mechanic and the error code came up the same so i paid to get the issue fixed to no avail. The check engine alert continues to come on and i was told it is a sensor malfunction. Air bag icon: this has been on for the past year and i was told yet again that it is a sensor malfunction. |
