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.

What owners say
When I bought the car last year the dealership said they installed brand new brakes but they where still squeaking so I just thought it was because of the new brakes but a month later my brakes and rotors and calipers were completely gone it costed me $1200 to replace them but then 2 months later again it started doing the same thing my brakes wore down completely so I asked my uncle to look at them and change them for me so he did and now my brakes are doing the same thing they grind very loud and squeak and I didn't buy no cheap brakes either they where top performance brakes another problem I had what's my control module in my transmission went out as I was driving on the high way my speedometer wasn't working and my car moved slowly and made a loud noise so I replaced it and it's working for now then my doors won't unlock I'll hit the unlock button in the car and the key chain but my back door on the drivers side does not unlock and my driver door does the same occasionally I have to pull the lock to unlock it and I've had my tires balance rotated and all that more than once but for some reason my front tires wear down fast I've went through 2 sets of front tires but my back tires are still good
