NHTSA complaint #10277896, filed 2009-07, 19,186 miles

Electrical system: “The contact stated while driving various speeds, the air intake located next to the engine consumes water in rainy weather which causes the engine to stall without warning. The vehicle was inspected by a dealer who installed a bonnet around the air intake which extended the air intake. Afterwards, the problem persisted. The instrument panel also intermittently illuminates. The dealer was unable to determine the cause of these failures. The manufacturer was alerted.”

NHTSA complaint #10163955, filed 2006-07, 60,000 miles

The dealer replaced the suspension once, and problem recurred.”
