| My car is a 2001, it has a mind of it's own , luckily the blinker, flasher issue is being recalled. my car has been doing this for quite some time. i believe that there are major electrical issues with these cars. my drivers side window works when it wants too. when i try to roll it down, it will pull down the engine and my lights will dim very low.( exterior and interior lights.) my back speakers also work whenever they want to. i am not one to listen to loud music, but it's pretty bad when only the front speakers work. i believe these cars need to be rewired. the latest problem happened about 6 months ago. the transmission lever button completely broke off. luckily the button is still literally hanging in there ,but if it falls out and gets lost there is no way for me to put my car into gear or out of gear for that matter. this is very dangerous, you have to have the button to put the car into park. the dealer whom i bought the car from is not willing to help at all with any of the situations with my car. how can consumers protect themselves from companies who do not stand by their products. we pay good money for our vehicles and this is what we have to live with. our lives being in danger. *ak | |||
