WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WHEN I WAS ON THE ROAD. STILL CONTINUE NOT TO WORK. WHICH IS NOT FUN TO DRIVE. HOPING FOR NO RAIN. NOT SURE WHY MINE DOESN'T HAVE A RECALL BEING ITS IN THE SNOW STATE AND THEY ARE REPLACING A PART. SO I AM SUPPOSE TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF? ANOTHER ISSUE, OUR WINDOWS DON'T WANT TO ROLL UP BACK UP. OUR BACK RIGHT WINDOW HAS GOTTEN STUCK DOWN. THE BUTTON BACK THERE AND IN FRONT WON'T BRING IT BACK UP. WE HAVE TO TRY IT FOR LIKE AN HOUR, TURNING THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF, REAMING ON THE BUTTONS TO GET IT UP. IF THERE IS A SHORT CIRCUIT SOMEWHERE? WE CAN'T ADJUST OUR MIRRORS. ASSUMING AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH ALL OF THIS.

AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE WE NOTICED THAT THE MIRROR WAS DEVELOPING A DARK FILM WHICH KEPT GETTING WORSE. IT IS NOW VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT OF THE MIRROR. IT HAS GOTTEN SO BAD THAT IT IS NOW A SAFETY ISSUE. WE ARE NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ACCIDENT AND SO IT IS NOW PARKED IN THE GARAGE AND NOT BEING DRIVEN.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE INCONSISTENT AT TURNING ON WHEN NOT IN THE OFF POSITION. IF THEY TURNED ON, THEY WOULD STAY ON UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. THE ONLY WAY TO ENSURE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON (AND STAYED ON) AT ANY REQUESTED WIPER SPEED WAS TO HAVE YOUR HIGH BEAMS ON. IF YOU TURNED YOUR HIGH BEAMS ON, THE DASHBOARD LIGHT WOULD COME ON. IF YOU TURNED YOUR WIPERS ON, THE HIGH BEAM DASHBOARD LIGHT WOULD GO OUT (YET THE HIGH BEAMS WOULD STILL REMAIN ON).

JUST LIKE OTHER COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ ON THIS CAR YEAR AND MODEL, THE AIR CONDITIONER ON THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER SIDE BLEW HOT AIR OUT WHEN AIR WAS ON, THEN IT BLEW HOT AIR OUT BOTH BEFORE IT BROKE COMPLETELY. I AGREE WITH OTHER CUSTOMERS, THAT THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN IN A 4 YEAR OLD CAR. THEY WANT 1500 TO FIX. ALSO, THE TWO PUMPS WENT OUT THAT PUMP OUT THE WASHER FLUID, THEY SAID IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE, THIS IS A FOUR YEAR OLD VEHICLE, IT SHOULD NOT BE HAVING SO MANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES HAPPENING. THEY WANT ANOTHER $500 TO FIX IT. BOTH THIS ARE HUDGE CONCERNS GIVEN IT IS A 4 YEAR OLD CAR AND THERE ARE MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. IT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY CONCERN.
