TODAY WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 35-40MPH MY VEHICLE STALLED. I HAD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND WAS AWAITING A TRAFFIC LIGHT CHANGE. WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED AND I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HESITATE AND JERK AND THE ESP/BAS LIGHT, MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT (CHECK ENGINE) AND A MESSAGE STATING TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP CAME ON. I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE AND IMMEDIATELY PUT ON MY FLASHERS. THE DRIVER BEHIND REALIZED THAT I WAS IN TROUBLE AND PUT ON HIS AS WELL. AFTER I WAS ABLE TO ROLL TO THE SHOULDER, I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. AFTER WAITING APPROXIMATELY 5MINS, I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY TO MY OFFICE SINCE I WAS JUST 2 BLOCKS FROM WORK. THIS EXPERIENCE SCARED ME BECAUSE HAD THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT THE 60-65 MPH RATE ON THIS VERY BUSY HIGHWAY, I COULD HAVE BEEN HURT. AFTER READING SEVERAL OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS, I CAN ALSO RELATE TO THE COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TIRES HAVING HAD TO REPLACE A BROKEN STEM AFTER OWNING THE VEHICLE ONLY 2 DAYS AND I CURRENTLY STILL HAVE WATER LEAKING INTO MY VEHICLE ON RAINING DAYS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND NOW THROUGH THE LIGHTS. I DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY DAILY AND AFTER TODAY'S STALL OUT, I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TODAY AND EXPLAINED MY ISSUES AND TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT ALL OF THE LIGHTS AND HE TOLD ME THE CAR WAS PROBABLY COLD AND IF THE LIGHTS DON'T GO OUT I CAN BRING IT IN ON SATURDAY. WELL TODAY IS WEDNESDAY AND I WILL NOT DRIVE THAT CAR AGAIN. SINCE THE DEALERSHIP IS QUITE A DISTANCE FROM MY HOME, I WILL HAVE THE CAR TOWED SO THAT IT CAN BE CHECKED OUT. I AM VERY UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE IDEA OF EVER DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AGAIN. I TRANSPORT CHILDREN AS PART OF MY JOB FROM TIME TO TIME AND I COULD NEVER FORGIVE MYSELF IF SOMETHING WAS TO HAPPEN TO THEM WHILE WE ARE RIDING IN THIS VEHICLE. *TR

THE FACTORY INSTALLED TOW HITCH HAS TOO MUCH PLAY (CLEARANCE OR SLIP FIT).WHEN YOU INSTALL A STANDARD SIZE RECEIVER(MALE) YOU CAN MOVE IT UP AND DOWN .500 OF AN INCH OR MORE. IT IS WAY TOO SLOPPY OF A FIT. THIS WILL LEAD TO LOCK PIN WEAR AND IN AN EXTREME CASE,PIN SHEAR. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.PLEASE INSPECT THIS FIT.*AK
