MY DASHBOARD HAS BEEN INCREASINGLY STICKY FOR YEARS NOW, DESPITE ALL ATTEMPTS TO CLEAN IT. IT HAS INCREASED TO THE POINT OF REFLECTING OFF OF THE DASHBOARD AND DISTRACTING ME WHEN I DRIVE.

THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR CAN NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. I HAVE NEVER ACTIVATED THE CHILD LOCK ON THE DOOR. IT IS NOT IN THE LOCK POSITION. IT IS DANGEROUS. I AM UNABLE TO LET MY SON OUT ON STREET SIDE PROTECTING HIM FROM ON COMING CARS. DURING INSPECTION NOTHING WAS BROKEN AND THEY RECOMMENDED I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION. *TR

GAS PEDAL IS TOO CLOSE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. I OFTEN HAVE ACCELERATED DEPRESSING THE WRONG PEDAL DUE TO THE EXTREME CLOSE PROXIMITY. WHILE PULLING UP TO THE GARAGE HIT THE GAS PEDAL INSTEAD OF THE BREAKS AND CAUSED BOTH VEHICLE AND GARAGE DAMAGE. I HAVE THOUGHT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS MANY TIMES. THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED AND THE GARAGE MASONRY HAS BRICKS AND BLOCK WORK DAMAGE. TWO OF MY WHEELS HAVE BEEN WARPED. I HAVE ONLY A MEDIUM FOOT SIZE 10. THIS IS DANGEROUS FOR ANYONE. *TR

THE FRAME THAT SECURES THE HOOD LATCH ASSEMBLY RUSTED OR CORRODED AWAY AND I CAN'T SECURE HOOD TO LATCH. *TR
