Consistent air suspension failure. Told repair would be upwards of 4500 dollars usd--researched and apparently this is an ongoing issue--manufacturer should repair at no cost

Power Train · at 44,052 miles · reported Dec 24, 2009
I was stopped at a red light upon moving forward I heard a loud grinding noise from the rear of the car and lost my transmission. This left me stranded in the middle of a busy intersection at rush hour with no warning fortunately no one crashed in to me. I called police and tow truck. Vehicle was towed to dealership who have replaced differential and rear axles. The preliminary explanation given was that something appears to have broken off that ground up the differential. After completion of repair I was only told that there had been a malfunction. Vehicle is 4 years old with about 44000 mile…

I have a really difficult time when faced with cars using the high intensity discharge headlights. They are nearly blinding and very distracting. I would like to see these discontinued for all cars in the USA. Thanks.
