What owners report
I was in an accident on I95. The steering wheel locked causing me to hydroplane and hit ropes and car landed in the middle of 95. No airbags deployed during collision causing head to bump and back injuries. Police report is inaccurate.
Turned into a parking spot , my palisade immediately jumped forward accelerating on its own it began driving by itself, bouncing off of one vehichle to another and pushing the car in front of me backwards then sideways. i had no control over this car.
On three separate occasions, when turning left, the steering wheel locked briefly at the 11pm position and there was a clunking noise. It released after a second or two. Obviously having steering lock is a severe safety issue.
Suspension and driveability issues. Seat belt safety recall not completed after several attempts. 1. SUSPENSION: Suspension noises (popping, clunking, creaking, etc).
Was driving down our road and when we came to turn onto the main road the vehicle would not turn. Backed up to avoid traffic then tried proceeding forward again and would not turn or was only turning very little that it did not make a difference.
On 9/15/26 I had activated my left turn signal and was entering the left hand turn lane. About halfway into the lane, the vehicle dashboard displayed “Emergency steering activated” and began forcing my steering wheel the opposite direction for no reason.
