Door ajar light and courtesy light would remain on after shutting doors. Dealer/manufacturer notified, and informed consumer that there are no recalls concerning that problem.
Dome light stays on after starting or closing door - intermittent problem.
Nothing but problems since purchasing 1)door ajar light constantly illuminated-all doors checked none ajar 2) engine check light occasionally comes on-happened right after purchase and catalytic converter replaced obviously didn't fix problem 3)occasionally power windows/locks and A/C will go out unless adjustable fan speed turned to high 4)recently front passenger door will open at random usually during a turn-luckily no one sits in that seat 5)speedometer will occasionally flicker higher while driving at speeds greater than 65mph all of these problems have surfaced in the past 1-1.5 yrs and have continued since then.
Engine coolant needs filling every 2-3 days, transmission skips, engine check light always illuminated and interior door ajar light never goes off.
The caliper was hanging up causing premature brake failure. Yh
Eletrical system shorted out. Windshield wipers worked only when washers were being used, dome light stayed on when door was closed and won't go off.
Abs system continually failing, several component replacement(sensors, module assembly and cleaning of the sensor rings), however failure indicator light continues to illuminate on occasions. Mjs
Disc brakes are warping from excessive heat buildup within the ABS brakes. Dealer contacted, and stated the design of car has small brakes. Repair work done at owner's expense. Also, headlights are filling up with water when raining, could cause major problems/speedometer does not work properly. Provide further information.
Outer hood panel separated from body of vehicle prior to recall (97v‑180). In addition, replaced front electric door latch/multifunctioned wiper switch/windshield wiper switch/engine cylinder head gaskets due to coolant leak, and differential seal.
