The power steering suddenly stopped working as I was on the highway and couldn’t control my car without warning. It started working momentarily and then stopped again. It’s been over 24 hours. The fuses were checked. At the same time that the steering went out two messages appeared. “Lane keeping sys malfunction” and “steering loss stop safety”. It is available for inspection currently.

WHILE STATIONARY AFTER TURNING ON THE VEHICLE THERE IS A HARD SHIFT IN GEARS FROM PARK TO DRIVE. WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON THE CITY STREET THERE IS A HARD SHIFT AROUND 35 MPH TO 55 MPH. WHILE DRIVING ON THE CITY STREET AFTER 5 MILES THE VEHICLE START SPUTTERING AND NOT SHIFTING GEARS PROPERLY THEN THERE ISN'T ANY ACCELERATION FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT STOP AND GO. AND THEN IT PICKS BACK UP AND DRIVE HIGH RPM SOUND. OR HIGH REV SOUNDS. IN ADDITION THE GAS CAP UNIT IS FAULTY I REPLACED IT BEFORE AND NOW IT APPEARS IT HAS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN BECAUSE IT WON'T CLOSE PROPERLY. A P0171 CODE MAF SENSOR CAME UP ALONG WITH TRANSMISSION CODES FOR THE 5TH AND 4TH GEAR RATIO ACCORDING TO THE DIAGNOSTICS REPORTED FROM THE OB READING AND SOME ADDITIONAL CODES THAT I CAN'T EVEN DESCRIBE. FOR THE MOST PART THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING CITY AND HIGHWAY WHICH MAKES IT VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR IT WILL SHIFT FROM DRIVE TO S1, S2, S3, S4, IT WILL DECREASE IN SPEED, LIKE A HESITATION AND SLOWING DOWN. I AM AFRAID IF THIS CONSTANTLY HAPPENS SOME ONE WILL HIT ME IN THE REAR., CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. WE HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR IN TWICE FOR REPAIRS, STILL ISN'T FIXED. FIRST, OH ITS NEED TO BE PUT ON THE COMPUTER AND RECALIBRATED. SECOND, AFTER TEST DRIVING THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULDN'T ASSESS THE CAUSE AND IT DIDN'T OCCUR WHILE THEY DID A TEST DRIVE. THIS IS A SERIOUS DEFECT AND DANGER TO ME, MY FAMILY AND OTHERS ON THE HIGHWAY. IT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND REPAIRED.THIS IS STILL OCCURRING WHILE DRIVING DAILY. SERIOUSLY THINKING ABOUT RETURNING THIS VEHICLE. *TR
