“Electrical problems; during warranty period and I had to take the car to the dealership numerous times because the driver' s and front passenger's seats quit working and required electrical repairs. The power sun roof also quit working and required electrical repairs during the warranty period. My car was no longer covered by warranty, and power windows have now quit working. I had so many different electrical problems since purchasing the car that I could not help but to think they wereall connected to the same common problem, and it made me wonder what will happen next. …”
