I was driving on the turnpike and thank god no other cars were next to me. Sometimes when I go over 50 the car tends to pull in another direction. I took it to get service a week after I bought it and got my car back 6months later. Than the accident happened. They just replaced computer chip they said. The car has never driven right since I bought it. So when the car decided to pull to the left I was pulling with all my strength to just keep the wheel straight but I had no control and spun around 5 times N landed backwards on the turnpike facing on coming traffic. I'm so upset that I never got to enjoy the vehicle it still pulls and the dealership always says its fine. The car rattles. One day I was driving N the seat I was sitting on blew up for no reason. They replace only the inside parts and never the stitching on the seat so I have a ripped seat for something that was not my fault. This call is def a lemon or should be recalled.
Twice, recently while under hard acceleration of overtaking other cars the fault "ESC inoperative" appeared on the dash along with the warning lights. This happened once during the initiation of an overtaking on a two lane road with oncoming traffic and another time at 75 mph while overtaking another vehicle on a two lane freeway. In both instances, vehicle was under hard acceleration, and the failure appeared immediately. After the fault appears, the car is significantly underpowered at all speeds and has difficulty achieving the acceleration needed in such conditions. At low speeds it is extremely underpowered and has difficulty accelerating away from a stop. The problem can temporarily be resolved by restarting the engine.
