Car exterior and interior lights will dim and then brighten while driving at night. Seems to act up more in colder tempertures but is still acting up in warmer weather. Fan speed for air & heater will flucuate. They have replaced the altenator but it didn't correct the problem. Also having probelms when starting up the car. Acts like it is "missing" but no engine check light came on. Dealership tried running a fuel injector fluid through it but hasn't corrected the problem.
The transmission has an intermittent problem that two dealers have tried to fix, then tell me that the condition is normal. The brake rotors have warped, it took three trips to the dealership repair shop to fix the problem. Warranty was charged twice on brake repair when only one repair was done. Defroster function on car was inoperative due to water collecting in AC unit. Ac has moldy smell that has not yet been corrected. Very dissatisfied with dealerships that try to repair car.
Steering rack makes loud noise when making tight turns and/or when breaking on bumpy roads. Unrelated, left strut failed at 13,500 miles and had to be replaced.
While driving on rough surface roads and making turns the vehicle's steering rack makes noise and brakes fail intermittently.
