THE WINDSHIELD DOES NOT CLEAR WITH DEFROST ON. IT FOGGS UP SO BAD YOU CAN NOT SEE TO DRIVE. VERY DANGEROUS. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR USED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO FOR MY 16 YR OLD TO DRIVE TO SCHOOL. NOW WITH THE WEATHER CHANGE I SEE IT IS NOW IS NOT SAFE.
WHILE DRIVING CONSUMER NOTICED THAT FLUID WAS LEAKING FROM THE DASHBOARD. CONSUMER SUSTAINED MAJOR INJURIES, AND WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE HEATER CORE BLEW OUT. *AK WHILE DRIVING THE HEATER CORE BURST AND STEAM FILLED THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND INTO A SERVICE STATION. THE HOT ANTIFREEZE FROM THE CORE LEAKED ONTO THE PASSENGER'S FOOT BURNING IT. THE PASSENGER WAS TRANSPORTED BY AMBULANCE TO A HOSPITAL. *NM
I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED - AND THE POWER DOOR LOCKS WERE NOT FUNCTIONING (DIDN'T LOCK). I BROUGHT IT IN FOR REPAIR AND THE MOTOR WAS REPLACED.
