I bought this used car from a reputable dealer and I was happy to get a "good deal" on it. (I'm not blaming the dealership at all). I bought it as my 15 year old daughters first car. She was so happy with it. On the ride home from the dealers the dash lit up "SERVICE ETC" (electronic traction control). Didn't think much of it as it continued to drive just fine and I figured I'd just have our mechanic look at it.
A couple days later, my daughter was driving the car and my husband was with her. The warning light again illuminated and she totally lost all power steering when turning into a parking lot... and hit the curb and went over it. Fortunately, we now know that this car is dangerous before allowing her to drive it alone when she is 16. I've read that this car had a recall, but not for our VIN number.
I will buy her a different car when she is 16 and driving alone. I should have bought a Toyota Camry.
