| Rear brake lights failure- both sides- first left then right- replaced went out again soon after. lights on heater gauges failed. cigarette lighter female part pulls out of dash when you take the lighter out. passenger door panel came off-keeps the doors from unlocking- tried to fix it and ended up being locked in my car in the rain for an hour. back passenger side seat belt was jammed. also odometer is jammed-has never been tampered with. was bringing my husband to work and i know that it is a 10 mile drive-none of the numbers rolled over. works when it wants to. *nm | |||

| Car will not start when the temperature falls below freezing. the dealer has tried to correct the problem and on two occasions has replaced the battery and the distributor. both did not solve the problem. i believe the problem lines with the fuel line. the dealer cannot figure out what is wrong. the second failure are the two seals on the rear tailights which have resulted in water damage to the trunk. | |||
