REAR TAIL LIGHT FAILURE WITH LOW MILEAGE ON VEHICLE. RUNNING AND BRAKE LIGHTS STOP WORKING. LIKELY DUE TO WATER INTRUSION CAUSING SHORT IN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

THE ECO FUEL BUTTON IS STUCK AND IS MAKING MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GO ON AND OFF. ALSO THE SWITCH FOR THE AIR/HEAT TURNS ON BY ITSELF, IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD KNOWING THAT THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY. BOTH OF THESE THINGS HAPPEN ANYTIME THE CAR IS ON. CONTINUES TO HAPPEN DRIVING OR NOT.

GAS TANK IS LEAKING ON TOP RIGHT SIDE, WHEN FULL. DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL. NEED A RECALL. FAST!

OK. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 2 1/2 YEAR AND I'VE FOUND AFTER A YEAR, IT WAS HARD TO KEEP GAS IN THE VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH I FILLED IT UP AT TIMES, IT WOULD STILL GO OUT , THE DOORS HAVE GOTTEN JAMMED, THE WINDOWS STUCK BECAUSE OF HEAT, LAST YEAR THE SEAT BELTS IN THE BACK STOPPED WORKING AND NOW I HAVE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND THE VEHICLE WILL ONLY GO BACKWARDS. I NEVER KNEW THOSE THINGS COULD HAPPEN TO THIS VEHICLE. ALSO THE ALARM NO LONGER WORKS AFTER 2 YEARS. I HAVE TO TAKE THE KEY OUT JUST TO OPEN THE VEHICLE. WHEN I GOT THE VEHICLE , THERE WAS A CD STUCK IN IT AND RADIO DIDN'T WORK AND COULDN'T BE FIXED.

THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF RANDOMLY . SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING IT WILL EXPERIENCE LOSS OF POWER AND OR ROUGH IDLING . SOMETIMES IT WILL SEEM AS IF THE GAS PEDAL IS BEING PRESSED ON ITS OWN . SOMETIMES IT WILL LOSE POWER AND ONLY DO 10 MPH EVEN WITH THE GAS PEDAL FLOORED . SOMETIMES THE CAR DIES COMPLETELY . USUALLY TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN WILL SOMEWHAT FIX IT WHERE IT WILL AT LEAST DRIVE .
