DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW HAS GONE OFF TRACK 3 TIMES NOW. IT HAS BEEN "FIXED" BY A LOCAL DEALERSHIP TWICE WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRENTY. REVERSE LIGHTS NOT WORKING, THIS HAS ALSO BEEN "FIXED" BY THE DEALERSHIP AND IS NOW DEFECTIVE AGAIN. THROTLE GETS STUCK AND THE RPMS RACE WORSE BETWEEN 2ND AND THIRD GEAR.*AK
WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED. THE WIPER BLADES MADE NO CONTACT WITH THE WINDSHIELD WHICH CAUSED POOR VISIBILITY. THE DRIVER HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD ARMS. *AK *SCC *NLM
PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW CONTINUES TO JUMP OUT OF PLACE CAUSING WINDOW NOT TO ROLL DOWN. WHEN FIRST BOUGHT CAR, WE PAID OVER 300 TO REPLACE ENTIRE FRAME AND GLASS. ONLY A SHORT TIME AFTER THIS IT CONTINUED TO DO THE SAME THING EVERY TWO OR THREE WEEKS WE ARE HAVING TO HAVE THE GLASS PUT BACK INTO TRACTS. THIS IS NOT NORMAL AND THINK IT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED.
PASSENGER'S SIDE WINDOW IS OFF TRACK AND HOOD HAS RUSTED. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK
THE VENTS ON THE FRONT DASH HAVE SPLIT IN TWO. ONCE I TURNED THE AIR ON PLASTIC PEICES STATED FLYING OUT. THIS COULD HAVE EASILY HIT SOMEONE IN THE FACE OR EYE CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY.
