Auto brake [trans brake] comes on while driving at highway speeds and is sudden with no warning .very un safe
Autopark brake failed (applied) without warning at speed. Mfg has attempted to fix numerous times. Fix not reliable - assured could not fail at speed, did. Mechanically (spring) applied, hydraulic/electric release design is a safety hazard - fails on. Nlm
When it engages, it stops vehicle very abruptly and vehicle starts to smoke. Took to dealer who made an adjustment, but problem still exists. Consumer states the auto park is locking up while driving at highway speed. Dealer replaced defective relay valve.
Left main motor mount rubs on oil lines and bracket, causing oil line failure.
Vehicle steering experiences excessive play and poor directional control.
On four occasions the motor shut off completely, leaving driver with out brakes or power steering, due to failed injection pump.
Brake warning light poorly designed, badly located, and almost impossible to see on a bright day.
