“I was going to check the oil level when the top of the dipstick came off in my hand. It is made of plastic.; I was opening the drivers door, the handle came halfway off, subsequently all handles have done the same thing. The washer fluid does not spray. These problems all happened in the past 3 or 4 years. The vehicle was stationary for these problems. While turning, the steering wheel would not continue too turn, heard a thunk , finally turned but the turn signal mechanism does not work now.”

“Cannot use side mirrors. The mirror looks like it has something growing inside it. It appears to be a glass failure. I cant see cars behind me using these mirrors.”

NHTSA complaint #10377969, filed 2011-01, 46,000 miles

“The most recent incident I experienced was the gearshift getting stuck in park. Luckily I wasn't too far from home when this happened. I'm waiting for a dealer to diagnose the problem. I have also had issues with my car cutting off after filling my gas tank. The dealer suggested that I not fill the gas tank to the full line. So far this has worked but there needs to be a permanent fix for this problem. Along with the car cutting off my driver side mirror dimmer is not functioning properly. The mirror has an orange tint to it and when I look at it the images are blurred. …”
