| Description of the problem | Replaced brakes with only 26,000 miles ,then again at 37,000 miles, now im at 41,000 miles and my brakes are making noises again. I also had to have the motor replaced in the driver side door window,it stopped going up and down in the first year i had the car. I had to have the rear window replaced due to the antenna in the window being broken, when i turned the rear defroster on the radio had alot of static. Since the window has been replaced it no longer defrost , i brought it back to the dealer several times and they tell me it works fine. They tested it inside a warm building. I also have an issue which the dealer says there is no problem, when driving and either the air conditioner/heater is on and lights at same time , when you brake the lights dim and the conditioner/heater goes low, also the interior light will dim as well. I have taken the car back to the dealer several times they say there is no problem. Im very disgusted with the vehicle. |
