HI! I AM HOPING TO OWN THIS CAR FOR TEN MORE YEARS. SINCE PURCHASE COMPLAINED HEADLIGHTS NOT WORKING (HAVE SERVICE COMPLAINT DOCUMENTED) AS I CANNOT SEE IN SNOW, RAIN, ICE, WHEN YOU NEED THEM THE MOST. ALSO BELIEVE CAR FILLS WITH EXHAUST FUMES FOR MANY YEARS. HAS ANYONE CHECKED THIS OUT?

I HAD MY CAR TAKEN IN FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL AND THE SRS LIGHT REMAINS ON. I ALSO HAVE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON CONSTANTLY. I DO NOT BELIEVE THEY FIXED MY RECALL COMPLETELY AND BELIEVE MY VEHICLE HAS SEVERAL OTHER RECALLED ISSUES AT HAND. INCLUDING THE TRANSMISSION NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE HEADLIGHT S DO NOT GIVE PROPER LIGHTING AND VISIBILITY IS HORRIBLE AT NIGHT. THE SEATBELT ON MY DRIVER SIDE LOCKS ALL THE TIME WHEN I TRY TO LOOK OVER MY SHOULDER. THE TCS LIGHT SPORADICALLY COMES ON WHEN THE ROAD CONDITIONS CHANGE AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE BUT I DON'T HAVE THE FINANCES TO GET DEALERSHIP AUTOSHOP WORK PERFORMED. SO IF I DO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THESE DEFECTS BEING FAULTY TO BEGIN WITH DON'T SAY I DIDN'T TRY AND GET HELP.

THE AXEL THAT HOLDS MY TIRES ON DO NOT HOLD THE BOLTS THAT ARE PUT ON. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE EVERY SINGLE BOLT ON ALL FOUR TIRES ONCE A MONTH, IF NOT MORE. THE BOLTS COME LOSE AFTER REPLACING THEM AND TIGHTENING THEM. THE BOLTS KEEP CROSS THREADING AFTER FIXING THEM AND PUTTING THEM ON CORRECTLY. MY DRIVER SEAT BELT COMES UNDONE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WHERE THE CLOCK IS AND BELOW COME ON AND OFF RANDOMLY. THIS HAPPENS ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS, EVER SINCE I PURCHASED MY CAR. I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND HEAR A NOISE COMING FROM MY TIRES, PULL OVER AND A BOLT OR TWO HAS COME OFF. THIS IS UNSAFE FOR NOT ONLY ME BUT MY FAMILY.

OBVIOUSLY, MOTOR VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS ARE ESSENTIAL SAFETY EQUIPMENT. THE HEADLIGHT LENSES IN ALL CARS BECOME CLOUDED OVER TIME REGARDLESS OF MAINTENCE OR BRAND OF VEHICLE. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD AS LIGHT FROM THE HEADLIGHTS IS GREATLY REDUCED. REPLACEMENT ON MY CAR IS APPROX. $400 PER LENS. THIS IS PERFECTLY AVOIDABLE BY USING BETTER MATERIALS. AUTO MANUFACTURERS SHOULD BE MADE TO REPLACE THEM AT THEIR COST, AND USE PROPER MATERIALS IN ALL NEW CARS MANUFACTURED. I AM STUNNED THAT NO REGULATING BODY HAS DONE THEIR JOB IN ADDRESSING AND CORRECTING THIS SERIOUS ISSUE.
