Takata recall? I bought this vehicle from my co worker which stated these issues were already happening for months, firstly the cluster clusters instrument gages do not work (replaced them and nothing happens) , only the gage lights turn on. These include the gas gage, RPM, speedometer, temp. Which is another issue, the electrical issues even though you try to brighten the lights with the dim knob they are hardly brightened its hard to see the clock time or any thing that lights up to help see at night, the interior lights dont work, the horn doesnt work, cruise control doesnt work. As if all these are tied together thru the electrical wiring. (checked all fuses and replaced most) my wind shield leaks in the top corners, the trunk fills with water everyone it rains due to a leak. Defects in the sealing my rear view mirror fell off on my way to work today as well which caused the windshield to crack around where the mirror was. The hood latch is hard to close, I have to use pliers to push down the latch before shutting hood, (this is another part I replaced with the same factory part number) it looks to be the spring. Ball joints I am guessing... When barely turning the wheel either way you hear a grinding noise like metal against metal. Its a scary sound when making turns not sure if the wheel is you g to break off while making the turn a costly issue daily I have to add oil to the vehicle the oil pump gasket seal leaks every time the engine is running. Exterior issue the paint looks horrible due to the top clear coat peeling. Now after researching, I realize I'm not the only one who has these issues. Please get these issues fixed

Throttle body pulley. The pulley for the throttle uses two cables, each anchored in the pulleys. The anchoring area for the cruise control cable has broken, possibly from corrosion. The same material and assembly also is for the accelerator pedal, so this break in the pulley could also mean the accelerator pedal would not work. Broken part is the throttle body pulley.

Car did fine for a while then it went crazy on us. Accelerator petal sticks, brake lights don't work, horn does not work, cruise control does not work, door locks wouldn't work, front left blinker works only sometimes!

Dt*: the contact stated while pulling into a parking spot, the driver depressed the resume button on the cruise control which reactivated the cruise control. This caused the vehicle to accelerate and crash into a wall. The vehicle was driven to the dealer who determined the cruise control worked as designed.
