On october 19,2018 my in laws were traveling north on route 61 in pennsylvania. they can to a red light and ran into the back of a minivan and the airbags deployed. then we dont know what happened, but the car accelerated and went the length of a football field and they hit a pole and my mother in law died instantly and my father in law died at 5:10 am.my concern is why isn't it an industry standard that once the airbags are deployed the throttle doesn't shut down. if the throttle would have not worked they way still be alive.if you cant help me could you send me in the right direction.

Vehicle has a very rough idle while stopped and while driving. when driving the vehicle will change roughly idle and speed up the vehicle. while in a stopping position the vehicle will roughly idle and the rpm indicator will bounce up and down. the engine light is on and the traction control warning and service esp warnings come on intermittently while in stopped position and then the vehicle will not accelerate properly. the most recent one revved and accelerated on its own, almost hitting the car at the stoplight in front of me.

Vehicle was on highway going to lexington ky from louisville ky. car begin to smoke. hose that was supposedly fixed on radiator was rigged and oil spilled from the hose causing it to go into engine. engine overheated while driving on highway. engine died. had to get car towed from one city to the next. got stranded in another town because could not obtain a rental car because they were closed. since 2016 i have spent over $7000 on getting the same issues or related issues fixed. i have spent over $5000 in rental cars and i still owe $9000 on my car which i purchased from bales automall/bachman in jeffersonville indiana in 2014 with on 28,000 miles. i have kept my services up to date on the vehicle and have documentation for that. it seems once i begin to get oil changes at this location my car begin to decline. i would be told that i had one problem, they would fix it, and then something else would happen. in addition, i have a witness who is a family member who is experiencing the same ...

Car does not properly accelerate, so much so that i need to use the hazard lights to avoid being hit by the car behind me when accelerating after stopping at a stop sign or red light. this is not safe. i have small children. i drove 40+ miles (city miles) and had no issues getting there, but then when i attempted to turn the car on again to return home, the temperature gauge showed the engine go from cold to hot very quickly, displayed the message "engine hot a/c off" and it started making a loud squealing noise. at this point i swerved the car off the road because my daughter and i feared for our safety and thought it was going to explode. i put the car in park, we both opened our doors and took off running from the car until we reached a safe distance. i had to have it towed 40+ miles to my home. the mechanic checked the vehicle again and found that the radiator had cracked and that the water pump needed to be replaced. he replaced the radiator and also the water pump, and ensured the proper amounts of all ...

Set up the airbag and the car mileage does look

I purchased a certified pre-owned car on jan. 2015. since mid-2016 (one and a half year since i owned the car) i've been noticing that my check engine light turned on every now and then, and gear shifting became significantly lagging around 30mph. every single time in a service appointment (which i took strictly on schedule for every 3 months), i would point that out to the service department, and every single time they would claim that they tested everything and there was no problem they detected. while last week (late june 2017, 2 and a half years since i owned the car, and interestingly 5 months after all my warranty expired), i was trying to drive back home from office via the highway. while entering the highway and speedup, i noticed that my engine speed went ups and downs in a serious, uncommon, rapid manner. there was also an unpleasant noise coming out of the transmission system. my car seriously shakes, and all gear shifting attempts became useless. the car went out of control and went to neutral gear on the highway--which pushed me to a very dangerous emergency situation. fortunately i made it stopped by ...

Bought this car used with 51k miles a month ago. drove great the first week, after that loses powerupon acceleration and is slow to get up to speed. while driving just now, the car was losing power so i decided to hit the gas harder and instead of going faster the the stability track light came on. i am starting to wonder if i made a bad decision purchasing this car. it had trouble going up hill on the highway last wk. this car is too compact to have speed issues.
