Description of the problem | The passenger airbag sensor never turns off, even when someone is sitting in the seat. All of the instrument panel gauges periodically stop working and the instrument panel cluster fuse blows frequently. Also have to frequently use the shift-lock release feature in order to get the car out of park. Have had previous problems with the key getting stuck in the ignition. The daytime running lights also periodically stop working (they turn on and off randomly). Have needed to have damaged wires in the hood compartment fuse box replaced, but all problems keep coming back. Can no longer afford to keep taking the car in for repairs and cannot afford a new car, so i am currently driving with all of these problems. I do not ever feel safe in the car and avoid taking it anywhere unless i absolutely have to. Many of these same problems have been reported by other owners and there needs to be more recalls than just the current fire hazard recall. |
