Bf the trunk would open due to moisture in the air, at night, the window would steam up completely in seconds, and the speedometer would quit.”

“Front brake rotors are wearing excessively which is causing poor braking ability. Consumer has replaced brake rotors on four different occasions. But, problem still occurs.

Cigarette lighter socket loose, dealer tightened.”
