The warning message "Service" was displayed intermittently. Additionally, the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where an unknown sensor was replaced; however, the failure persisted and the vehicle stalled while driving.
Also metal scrapings from the rear barrings was getting into the oil pan. The dealer I purchased the car from is refusing to fix it even though they have a 30 day warranty.
Rear differential and rear wheel bearing failure. Severe grinding noise from rear end
For about a month a warning light was on whenever I drove, indicating that the passenger air bag was constantly switched off. This means that my passenger airbags and perhaps all of my airbags would not function in the event of a crash.
