Lack of heat (to defrost windshield, restricting visiblity), low coolant light coming on, all the result of a faulty valve which also causes the car to register that it's overheating. Engine light coming on due to a faulty sensor. Emergency blinkers are broken. Grinding noise coming from front passenger wheel well.

My windshield wipers keep shorting out. Some times they work and sometimes they don't. The bracket to hold the front seat broke and had to be replaced. The handles on the passenger door broke and needed to be replaced and now the sliding door is doing the same. The brake light keeps coming on and the antilock brakes make a grinding noise when applied.

1- every time the weather is wet and cold, all 4 doors freeze shut. This is due to the design of the body. The doors allow water to collect all around the top and vertical sides and the water freezes...locking me out of the car. Neither the dealer nor mfg have a solution. 2- brakes: every time the weather is wet, or even with high humidity the brakes squeal and grab which initiates the ABS system which in turn brings the car to a "jerky motion" stopping situation. Neither the dealer nor the mfg have a solution....and even more frustrating to me...neither the dealer nor the mfg seem to "give a [xxx]".
