MY INITIAL PROBLEM WAS TRACTION CONTROL. IF YOU SLIP COMING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY AND YOU HIT GRAVEL, MUD, SNOW, RAIN YOUR TRACTION CONTROL WILL STOP YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND YOU CANNOT DRIVE. KIND OF A PROBLEM WITH CARS COMING RIGHT AT YOU. PROBLEM 2 IS THAT THIS SEEMS TO ALSO AFFECT THE WHEEL BEARINGS AND CAUSE PREMATURE FAILURE. I AM GOING ON MY SECOND REPLACEMENT AT 72,000 MILES. PROBLEM 3 IS THAT WHEN THE WHEEL BEARINGS FAIL THEY WEAR ON YOUR ROTORS AND I AM NOW ALSO NEEDING TO REPLACE THOSE ALSO. I CERTAINLY HOPE THAT THIS GETS ADDRESSED SOON. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT ONLY A SAFETY HAZARD IT IS ALSO A MONEY PIT. *TR
