| 1. the vehicle will not come out of park without shutting it off if i leave it running and put it in park like at a drive-through etc. have not had it checked or repaired because out of warranty and cannot afford to fix. 2. the rear window hatch will not open properly. i had the dealer repair once while still under warranty but it is doing it again. 3. front wheel bearing replaced once and is roaring like it needs to be replaced again. 4. the back middle seat belt fell apart and is too expensive to repair. 5. the vehicle goes through brakes rather quickly. has been less than a year and they need to be replaced again. *nm | |||
