    Severe bucking/jerking when accelerating in a turn

    This has happened numerous times over the course of the last few months. An example: stopped in an intersection waiting to make a left turn. When the time comes to turn, I accelerate hard and shortly after (split second), the car jerks badly and hesitates. Obviously dangerous if there was a...

    Drive Brights flickering AGAIN

    Like many others here, I upgraded to the LED DriveBright DRL/Signal lights. Like everyone else, they flickered after install, requiring a replacement to an upgraded control box. Well, I did that and now they flicker again. I only replaced the box about 2 months ago. Funny thing is, they don't...

    Time for a speaker upgrade - NOW WITH PICS

    Wonky Climate Control

    Auto Climate Control seems to keep cranking out heat and the car feels like a sauna. I set it to about 72 and the fan just keeps blasting hot air, to the point where it just gets too hot. I am still waiting for my manual to arrive from the dealer, but wonder if I'm doing something wrong. On my...
