What owners report
Brake lines are rusted and corroded. It appears that the rust may have spread from rust on the rear subframe.

I've never had a vehicles brake lines rust like this. They should also extend the warranty coverage to cover rusted brake lines.
Purchased and installed OEM diesel fuel filter made by Mann part WK820/17 or 171103 on [XXX] and drove for 9500 miles.

THE POWER STEERING STOPPED FUNCTIONING SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING AND I WAS UNABLE TO MAKE A TURN EXCEPT BY SUBSTANTIAL MANUAL FORCE.

AND APPARENTLY THEY HAVEN'T DONE SO YET OR NOTIFIED THE NTSB BECAUSE NOTHING SHOWS ON THIS WEBSITE. THE OCCURRED OVER 6 MONTHS AGO SO I AM SHOCKED THAT IT HASN'T BEEN DEALT WITH.
THE CAR HAS A ECO SYSTEM WHICH MAKES THE ENGINE STOP WHEN YOU COME AT COMPLETE STOP TO SAVE FUEL. WHEN THE INCIDENT HAPPENED, THE CAR STARTED WITH A HUGE JERK AS IF THE GEAR BOX IS BROKEN. NOW IT IS GIVING TWO DIFFERENCE MESSAGES: 1. AUXILIARY BATTERY MALFUNCTION 2. PRE-SAFE FUNCTIONS LIMITED (SEE OPERATOR'S MANUAL) THE CAR IS JURKING HEAVILY.
