1 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 12/24/2022

I was driving one night and the headlight out indicator on the dash lit up showing the passenger headlight to be out. This limited my ability to see the road as I now only had one headlight operational. Upon further inspection, the halogen bulb was found to be in working order, but the wiring harness has lost its insulation. On both the driver and passenger side the insulation on the internal wire harness to the headlights has dried out and fallen off, exposing bare copper making an electrical short highly likely.

2 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2018

Suspension- sway bars, bushings, every part of suspension breaking. Brakes-emergency brake does not work. Lighting-issues with headlamps. Rearview mirror-defective, not clear enough to see out of. Airbags-replaced, but when the car was impacted the roll bars deployed while the airbags did not.

3 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 11/15/2015

There is a problem with the window motor/window regulator with 3/4 windows in this car! they are all original to the car. I need them fixed because it is a visibility/safety issue. What if in the event of an emergency I need to open my windows and they don't work? I checked online and many many owners of this model have the exact same issue thus I know for a fact it is a defect with the car. The problem happened several years ago and I didn't have the money to fix it, I just found out I can report it to NHTSA. I read online about a guy with the same car who was granted a repair for this problem because it is deemed a defect and I would like the same.

4 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 09/18/2014

The overhead sunroof controls suddenly fell out of the ceiling while accelerating, creating a distraction and loss of visibility from the rear-view mirror. The controls/panel remained attached by wiring, completely blocking the rear view mirror. The plastic clips attaching the panel to the ceiling appear to have become brittle and then failed.
