My first complaint is the cruise control on my vehicle. When I set it to over 50mph and then try to turn it off, my pedal sticks a little and acts like it doesn't want to release. The second complaint is the burning of oil smell that comes with the pedal sticking. I took the car back to the dealer and they said that the only things they found was a loose hose. It was retightend. I am also having issues with the electrical parts on my rear view mirrors. They are all opposites.
