I bought this vehicle from I'm assuming the original owner I was informed there were a few quirks like the key won't come out of the ignition sometimes and the air conditioner sometimes works randomly.. I investigated the quirks and have found that when I put the car in park I'm not always able to remove the key it died somebody's eventually lunges forward as if it just went into gear and then the key is released the automatic door locks do not work and I am unable to determine whether the AC is due to a malfunction or if it's due to a electrical shortage however it also seems to when it goes out the front drivers headlight stops working I see that there are several recalls for this make and model and year how do I put the VIN number in it states that there are no open recalls on this vehicle.

The right low beam light went out, tried to replace it and found out that this is impossible to replace by the owner. It requires removing the front bumper and special tools over $300 at the dealer to replace a headlamp. Meanwhile one light. Having headlights is a safety issue! Also the driver side seat frame broke under normal use and can no longer be adjusted

While driving to orlando with my kids at 9:03 pm last night, I nearly got rear ended on i4 east. I was a lil puzzled to why someone would flying toward my car as if I was a target, until the driver of that vehicle pulled up aside of me, screaming out "turn on your lights." I immediately looked at my headlights and yelled my lights are on. Still a little confused, I pulled the car over, only to notice that my taillights weren't on. This morning the lights were on, now tonight they don't work I replaced the bulbs and, they don't work either. My car has had quite a few electrical problems, and a traction recall that had been repaired in 2010. I found out today that my car has been recalled for the same exact problem. I had to drive home tonight with my hazard lights on. What can I do? And how am I going to get around at night?
