These issues have been spotadic since I aquired the vehicle in october of 2021. Not infrequently the ABS system feels like it is trying to engage at low speeds with light braking such as in a parking lot. This also happens after coasting(no gas, no brake no cruise control))and then accelerating The radio will randomly stop playing or begin playing. The turn signal indicator chimes randomly stop chiming when the turn signal is in use though the interioir indicator light will flash normally. I have not been able to stop when this occurs with the turn signal still active to get out and verify it the turn signal is actually working At random times a loud clacking sound will come from behind the dash in the general vicinity of the radio and there will be no out put from the dash vents until the clacking stops. The use of any controls whether radio or climate does not seem to cause this nor will it stop it. Actuator doorb and/or solenoid perhaps?

THE REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER NO LONGER WORKED. THE REASON BEING THAT THE REAR DEFROSTER WIRING HAD BURNED AT THE CONNECTOR BLOCK. CONNECTOR BLOCK IS LOCATED BEHIND THE PASSENGERS SIDE KICK PANEL. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE TO THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE VIDEOS ON THE INTERNET SHOWING HOW TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM SO IT MUST HAPPEN FREQUENTLY! YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE BURN OCCURED IN THE ATTACHED PHOTO. I REPAIRED THIS ON 3/9/2018, HOWEVER, IT HAPPENED AT LEAST TWO YEARS AGO.

IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW FAR INTO THE DRIVE I AM. HAPPENS WHEN FIRST STARTED DRIVING FOR THE DAY AND AFTER A 40 MINUTE DRIVE. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 62,000 MILES AND THE CAR IS NEVER DRIVEN HARD!
