Dealers cannot locate fault and continues to replace bulbs or bend connectors on sockets. Engine, transmission, oil pan gaskets all failing with only 41,000 miles on vehicle. Inlet leakage on fuel valve failing for second time. Major alternator problem for second time.

Front bumbper assembly consistently losing parts. No accidents involved with vehicle. Vehicle has been at various dealers over 8 times in past year with significant out of pocket for rental car expenses.
