THE TRUNK DOOR CAME SLAMMING DOWN ON MY HEAD AND I THOUGHT IT WAS BLEEDING AT THE TIME. THANKFULLY IT WAS NOT, AND I GOT HOME AND PUT ICE ON MY HEAD. I DID NOT GO TO THE DR. HOWEVER I DO WORRY ABOUT MY CHILDREN AND FORGETTING TO KEEP THEIR SMALL FINGERS AND HANDS OUT OF THE WAY OF THE TRUNK AREA. VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

FIRST OFF, I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM MY SISTER...THE BALL JOINT BROKE ON ME WITHIN A MONTH...PROBABLY NOT HER FAULT. HOWEVER THE CAR WAS MAKING A LOT OF NOISES AND CLANKS AND CREAKS, I WAS TOLD IT WAS JUST THE BUSHINGS, GUESS I FOUND OUT IT WASN'T THE HARD WAY. ABOUT A MONTH AFTER THE BALL JOINT WAS REPLACED THE REAR STRUT BROKE AND WAS RUBBING THE INSIDE OF THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE. AFTER THAT WAS FIXED, ABOUT 3 WEEKS LATER I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND HEARD AN ODD GRINDING SOUND STARTED TO SOUND LIKE A FLAT, PULLED OVER TO DISCOVER THAT ALL OF MY LUGNUTS HAD BEEN PUSHED OFF SOMEHOW AND THE RIM HAD GRINDED DOWN THE POSTS. IT WAS ONLY HOLDING ON BY 1 LUGNUT AND IT WAS ALMOST OFF TOO. MOS

I DID EXPERIENCE MY CAR ACCELERATING. I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND WAS WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN WHEN MY CAR JUST STARTED REVVING UP. I COULD FEEL THE CAR PULLING BECAUSE IT WAS ACCELERATING. I HAD KEPT FEET ON THE BRAKES BUT IT KEPT GETTING LOUDER AND PULLING UNTIL I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF. I STARTED IT UP AGAIN WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN BUT IT WAS STILL ACCELERATING, SO I MANAGED TO PULL OVER AND PARK THE CAR. *TR
