| Description of the problem | Took the car in for repair on 3/3/2013 due to the vehicle had locked for no reason and would not drive. Had to tow it to dealership. Turned out it was a steering housing issue which the dealership took care of, then a month later, the exterior lights on the right rear started having issues; started getting alerts that the right taillight, right turn signal, right reverse light, brake light, and side lamp were out or needed to be checked. Also noticed that because of this, when you set the alarm, the right rear won't light up. Have not brought it back as of yet, waiting for recall. |
