“There were serious safety defects. The A/C turns on even if locked out, the driver's door leaked, the dash lights blink on/off without control (all gauges), and the airbag light, lights up. 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.”

“This car started having problems in approximately april. Tires were replaced in april. Brakes were replaced, then sliding section to sunroof fell apart. Then the termostat went out and replaced. Car stopped, was told it was the water pump, had it towed, was then told it was the modulator fan. Contacted the extended warrenty company, was told by warrenty people that it was not covered and then informed by them that it was also my AC and the compressor. Dealer refused to honor the remaining existing warranty that was left on the car.”
