Over usage of oil. Could not make it from one oil change to the next. Took it in faithfully every 3 months. Fans went out. Faulty intake replaced. A/c went out, drivers side window falls off track. Motor out in drives side back window. Passenger side door sticks and wont open. Engine blows. All major repairs occurred within a four month period, the minor items have been occurring for approx. A year. The car has low miles. I can no longer have repairs made to this vehicle and make payments at the same time. I will return it to the bank. It has been in and out of the shop for the past four months.
The front power windows fell down without using the controls. *nlm there were fuse/wiring shortages, headlight/interior light flickered without warning, the belts, main power train, A/C belt, and the compressor caught fire and the power steering had become inoperative. *scc the doors did not close properly. *jb
Driver power window motor failed twice, now the window has to be held in place for it to roll up straight and go into place. Also, plastic on driver door under black 'speaker' cracked with no impact. Passenger rear door entire interior door assembly has separated from the metal and has to be 'popped' back in repeatedly. Air conditioner system fails yearly. Multiple reasons. Trunk leaks terribly. Rear air/heat vents don't blow air anymore and the car isn't even 4 years old!
Water collects in trunk's spare wheel well when it rains. Consumer suspects this water leakage is responsible for vehicle interior/exterior lights flickering when raining.
When locking doors there's a loud distracting noise that could possibly cause an accident. Please provide any further information.
Consumer states there were noises when turning and backing, mechanic stated the entire rack and pinion needed replaced and while trying to turn the shaft, it turned 1/2 turn and then completely froze up.
Front bumper has a long black plastic piece that hangs further down. Plastic piece scrapes, drags or gets caught on pavement and concrete parking barriers. Also, part would have been disregarded if a service technician at dealer didn't mention that part was required for cooling system. Part partially broken off and tied with a string. Please provide more information.
Rivets on inside of passenger's side door are coming out, and consumer cannot open the door at all. Contacted dealer.
