| Windshield wiper motor: the original windshield wiper motor was replaced with a rebuit one since the original failed to operate on any of the intermittent settings. it would work on high and low only. the original motor was replaced with a rebuilt wiper motor and operated fine but made a loud noise. i had the rebuilt wiper motor replaced with another rebuilt wiper motor and have had it for 13-14 months. the wiper motor i have currently is now making the same noise as with the second wiper motor. it is still operational at this point on all settings.door locks: the power door locks have individually stopped working at different times. i used wd-40 on all of the locks and it has helped all but one (rear passenger side) that refuses to work when depressing the lockunlock button. it will still work manually. revving of engine: the engine will rev very high when the car is placed in park. pressing the brake or the gas pedal does not decrease the revving nor does lifting the gas pedal up. the only solution is to turn the car off and to turn it back on. this is tied to the car accelerating without pressing on the gas pedal. they both happened on the same brief trip (20 miles) but have also happened individually on separate occasions. the car accelerates slowly - approximately 1 mile per second - and will continue until about 40 - 50mph where its remains constant. no dealer has been able to determine the problem even after searching the cars computer for a stored code or cause. ignition: the key has become stuck in the ignition on several occasions. the key will not come out because the ignition does not return back to the place where you can remove the key. to help clarify - it gets frozen in the postion where you would turn the key to roll the windows up/down but not start the car. i have had to move/jiggle it back and forth to get the igniton to return back to home state and to the position where i was able to remove the key. | |||
