WATER (RAIN AND WASHING) GET INSIDE ON THE DOOR WELLS (I THINK THAT'S WHAT YOU CALL THEM) AND THE PART OF THE DOOR WHERE THE LATCH IS. I NOTICED THE FIRST TIME I WASHED THE CAR IN 8/07. THE AUTOBODY SHOP COULDN'T SAY WHY AND THE DEALERSHIP REALLY DIDN'T INVESTIGATE IT. ALSO THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LATCH/LOCK WILL FREEZE AND DOOR WILL SWING OPEN!! I HAVE SINCE LEARNED NOT TO USE THIS DOOR WHEN ITS BELOW 32 DEGREES. AFTER RAINING AND THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING, THE BRAKES SQUEAK. ALSO HAVE A NOISE IN FRONT WHEN TURNING. *TR

SOME OF MY PROBLEMS REAR END SLIP GROWL, TRUNK OPENS, 3 WATER LEAKS, MESSAGE LIGHTS ENGAGING, DRIVER SEATS MALFUNCTIONS, BRAKES, SERVICE LIGHTS, RUST, FRONT NOISE, WINDOW, DOOR HANDLES, A/C & 2 RECALLS. SOME OF MY CONCERNS GET ADDRESSES ALOT THEY SAY THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE. MY CAR LOST FULL POWER FOR A SHORT TIME IN OCT. OF 2008. I LOST MY LEMON LAW CASE THROUGH THE BBB IN SEP. 2008. I DID GET A INVOICE FROM MY DEALERSHIP ON ERROR WHILE PREPARING FOR MY LEMON LAW CASE. MY CAR WAS IN THE DEALERS SHOP FOR SIX DAYS PAINTING THE DECK LID BEFORE I EVEN BOUGHT MY CAR (I WAS NEVER TOLD ABOUT THIS). DEALER CLAIMS NOTHING MAJOR JUST MINOR. NOW IN OCT. OF 2008 I'VE LEARNED SOMETHING MORE HAS HAPPENED TO MY CAR BEFORE I BOUGHT IT. I'VE DISCOVERED MY CAR HAS WELD MARKS ON THE INSIDE TRUNK AREA? THE DEALERSHIP OWNER SAYS NO WAY THAT HAPPENED ON HIS LOT THAT MY CAR CAME FROM THE MANUFACTURER LIKE THAT. THE DEALERSHIP OWNER CAN'T EXPLAIN THE WELD MARKS ON MY CAR. AGAIN I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW. I'VE BEEN THROUGH LOTS OF TEARS WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF MY CAR & NOW IT'S BEEN DAMAGED TOO. MY CAR STILL HAS PERFORMANCE PROBLEMS TO THIS DAY. I'VE EVEN LEARNED THAT A COUPLE OF MY ACCESSORIES THAT I PAID LOTS OF $$$$ FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO INSTALL WHERE DONE POORLY. *TR
