TRANSMISSION WILL NOT DOWNSHIFT TO FIRST GEAR WITHOUT LIFTING UP ON THE SHIFTER TO RATCHET IT INTO POSITION. IT WAS TAKEN TO DEALER FOR REPAIR UNDER WARR.BUT PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED AT ALL.*AK

CONSUMER HEARD A NOISE. CONSUMER PULLED OVER, AND NOTICED THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE SIDEWALL SHREDDED. *AK

WHEN STARTING THE CAR IT SHAKES FOR TWO TO THREE MINUTES AND THEN FINALLY RUNS NORMAL. BEFORE THIS IT WON'T START. THE DEALER REPLACED THE STARTER BUT I STILL HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER SAYS THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT UNLESS THEY CAN DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. SO NOW I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE CAR BREAKING DOWN. *NM

BRAKES SQUEALED EXCESSIVELY AND COST A MINT TO HAVE REPLACED. (HAD TO HAVE TWO SETS BOUGHT TO GET THIS TO STOP AND ROTORS MACHINED WITHIN 1 YR OF PURCHASE) RIGHT SEAT BELT LOCKS EXCESSIVELY AND ONLY WAY TO UNLOCK IS TO UNDO THE CONNECTION. *NM

WINDSHIELD DEFOGGER SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. ON RAINY DAYS, OR IN COLD WEATHER, THE WINDSHIELD FOGS UP. TURNING ON THE DEFOGGER MAKES IT WORSE EVEN ON THE HIGHEST SETTINGS. THE ONLY THING THAT CLEARS IT EVENTUALLY IS ROLLING DOWN THE WINDOWS AN INCH ON EITHER SIDE LEFT OR REAR. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASE THE VEHICLE, BUT NOW IT IS GETTING WORST. *NM
