Latest XB complaints
My wife and I were driving down the road and all of a sudden we heard a very loud bang and attempted to maintain control of the vehicle. The pavement was smooth free of any imperfections. I was able to pull the vehicle off the road. Upon reviewing the vehicle I noticed the passenger side rear wheel completely lodged into the wheel well. I had no indication that this was going to occur. We are fortunate this didn't happen on the highway as the outcome would have been alot different.

changed from outside lane to inside lane, when I tried to turn right to stay in the middle lane the steering wheel locked sending me into the left hand turn lane and then into a car that was in the next lane, hitting their left rear tire. I told the insurance adjuster about the issue, he told me they would have the car checked, but I don't think he or my insurance company had the car issue inspected or investigated. The accident seemed minor, but the other party is claiming bodily injury. Maybe you guys can see who has the car and get it checked. I have tried asking the Auction company who bought the car, but they would not release that information to me.
Driver was traveling at 75 mph when the hood suddenly released. Both latches failed and the hood flew up against the windshield with enough force to crease the hood and dent the roof. Inside the vehicle, the done light and the rear view mirror were knocked loose. Incident occurred at night with no other traffic on the road and Driver was able to pull over without further incident. If there had been other vehicles, the sudden lack of visibility would likely have resulted in a crash.
Was changing lanes from the outside lane to middle lane, when I tried to turn the steering wheel to the right it locked and the car continued straight, crossing the left hand turn lane and it collided with another vehicle in the next lane. After the car came to a stop I again tried turning the steering wheel both Left and right and it wouldn't move. After the car was turned off and restarted the steering wheel would turn left of right.

must have released while I was driving - locking the steering wheel preventing me from turning the car and avoiding the accident. I asked the insurance adjuster to have the car checked for this issue and he said they would, but I think they ignored me and now the car has been actioned of last July. When I asked the auction company who bought it and told them about the issue, they refused to tell me any information about it. If you can. Please have the car checked and email me what you find.
