AT APPROXIMATELY 3 YEARS OLD AND 47K MILES REAR DRIVER SIDE SWAY BAR LINK BROKE.

1. WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WHILE RAINING AND 2. NOW, THE SHIFTER IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY, WHEN YOU SHIFT INTO PARK YOU GET AN ERROR MESSAGE THAT THE CAR IS NOT IN PARK AND CAR WILL NOT TURN OFF UNTIL YOU JIGGLE THE SHIFTER

THE REAR AIR VAPORATOR EXPLODED, RESULTING IN LOSS OF AIR/HOT AIR BLOWING OUT ON A RELATIVELY NEW CAR.

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE, MY CAR WOULD NOT ACKNOWLEDGE BEING PUT IN PARK. I WOULD SHIFT THE CONTROL TO PARK BUT WOULD GET WARNINGS PARK WAS NOT ENGAGED. I TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR. NOW I AM GETTING A MESSAGE TO SERVICE PARKING BRAKE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. I DO NOT USE THE PARKING BRAKE, SO I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY SERVICE IS NEEDED. BOTH PROBLEMS WERE WHEN CAR WAS IN PARK. THE 'SERVICE PARKING BRAKE' WARNING STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING.

WHEN SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO PARK, AFTER PRESSING THE START/STOP BUTTON TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN OFF AND ALERT WITH DINGS AND DISPLAY A MESSAGE TO SHIFT TO PARK. IT TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET THE VEHICLE TO TURN OFF. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN.

WHILE DRIVING 50 MILES AN HOUR IN AWD, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THE D STARTED FLASHING AND THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO DISENGAGE. THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL INSIDE THE CAB. I PULLED OVER AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE THE REMAINING 5 MILES HOME.

WE PARKED AND EXITED THE VEHICLE (TURNING IT OFF) ON A SLIGHT GRADE AS WE NORMALLY DO IN THE FRONT OF OUR HOUSE ON A PUBLIC STREET. WE AWOKE THE NEXT MORNING TO DISCOVER THAT THE VEHICLE HAD ADVANCED OR SLID FORWARD APPROXIMATELY 15' COMING TO REST AGAINST A TELEPHONE POLE ADJACENT TO OUR CORNER PROPERTY. IF THE TELEPHONE POLE WAS NOT IN THE PATH OF THE VEHICLE IT WOULD HAVE CROSSED A SIDE STREET AND COME TO REST IN OUR NEIGHBORS FRONT YARD. UPON VIEWING THE VEHICLE AFTER THE DRIFT FORWARD, BEFORE ENTERING THE VEHICLE WE COULD SEE THAT THE VEHICLE WAS CLEARLY IN PARK AND TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS HAD (1) PREVIOUS SERVICE BY A DEALER FOR TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR.
