 When i purchased the car brand new, the sunvisor on top was loose, the dealership said it was fine, then a couple of days later i noticed it was coming off more. they did fix this then i reported that the keyless entry remote did not work . i went there on three occasions for approximately 5 hours total to have this fixed, they did fix and now it does not work again. i am also hearing a water swishing sound when i start the car and when driving mostly in center of car, but can be heard in all area including when i step on and off the brake. i went to the dealership and saw three sales people and they could not help me and told me to come back on monday. they were very rude and would not even offer a suggestion about the problem i was having. this is a brand new car and costing more than 23,000 dollars, should i have all these problems already. *jb ***dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis****741071

 When weather is hot vehicle starts making a creaking noise. also, it sounds as though noise is in structure of vehicle.*ak consumer states sound has been present in vehicle since day one, dealer has replaced the front and rear sway bar link, both bushings, left ball joint, steering gear, differential/transaxle, and now dealer feels the problem is with the exhaust pipe, while driving consumer would make frequent stop and go motions which would make the noise even worse, consumer thinks the problem seemed to be expanding steel when vehicle was hot, dealer listened to the noise through headphones and stated the noise was not coming from the suspension, since dealer can not fix problem, consumer has decided to go through arbitration. when air conditioner is on a loud humming noise can be heard through the vents. *slc
