We bought this car as-is in october of 2011. At that time it had 67,500 miles on it. In about march of 2012 we noticed that there were three major things wrong with the car and they all appeared to be electrical. The windshield spray did not function even though it was full of liquid. We wiggled the electrical plug and changed the fuse and it worked for about 2 weeks. The next thing was that the passenger side heated seat did not work and still does not. We cannot find the fuse for that one. Then the passenger side seat control on the door stopped working for the main part of the seat bench itself. It will not move back and forth and will not tilt or rise. The seat back works and the headrest works, but that is all. Again we could not find the fuse.
