| We purchased the vehicle about 2 years ago from a used car dealership. about a week after we bought it, the check engine light came on, and we also noticed that the trunk was leaking and had so much water in it that mushrooms were literally growing under the carpet. no one could fix the trunk leak. we had to take the carpet out and bleach the mushrooms off, twice. we ended up buying caulking and fixed it ourselves so we wouldn't waste $250 for a mechanic to not fix it again. it took 3 tubes of caulking, but it stopped leaking. now the sun roof leaks as well. but the biggest problem is that no one seems to be able to fix the check engine light problem either. we've taken the car to 4 separate garages and have had this same issue fixed 6 times now. we've spent at least $500 all in all on this one problem and each time, the light goes off, but a week later it comes back on. no one can fix it. we've had the car for 2 years and we've already put at least $1000 into it, if you include the brakes and tune ups. | |||

| Headlights went out while driving at night then would only operate intermittenly until finally they didn't work at all. took off the multifunction switch and the electrical connnector to the switch was melted. after some research i found out that the manufacturers made the wires too small to carry the electrical load. | |||

| I have been having problem with my car for about 6 months. one of the problems were my high beams will operate but my low beams wouldnt. now my high beams will operate but i am unable to switch to my low beams. the second problem is with my battery dying several times which resulted in getting a jump from another car. i end up having a battery and alternator replaced on my car last year between nov/dec 2010. just recently i noticed smoke coming from my steering column located near the steering wheel and the smell of something burning. this happen while i was driving. my car didn't start monday 3-28-11 morning so i had it towed to the dealership where i bought the car from. the mechanic had to replace the battery. they ran a diagnostic on the car but no readings regarding electrical problems. the important question pertains to what is draining the battery. | |||

| While the headlights are on and signaling for a right turn the fog lights come on the entire time it was in that position. this happens every time now although the fog light switch is in the off position. while trying to find the source of the problem i noticed that movement of the turn signal stalk in a circular motion also turned on the fog lights briefly. | |||
