1 Windshield problem

Failure Date: 12/03/2011

I was driving on the highway a few days before December 3, 2011, and I heard a loud "pop" sound from the back seat of my car. On the 3rd, I was driving along and started hearing the sound of an open window in the back seat. I tried to close the back-right window with the power window control on the driver's door, but it didn't move the window (I heard the motor running, though). I then parked the car and got out to try to pull/push the window shut, but it would not stay all the way up. It had started with just an inch or so being open, but eventually it slid down so it was only about halfway up. . Read more...

Reduced & impaired visibility through front windshield due to reflection of dash/slope of windshield. Causes loss of clarity, especially during bright daylight driving.

3 Windshield problem

Failure Date: 10/25/2002

Consumer was unable to see out of the front windshield, a reflection from the windshield caused a glow.

4 Windshield problem

Failure Date: 05/15/2002

Defroster vent on dash is designed in such a way that it reflects off the windshield even on a cloudy day. Consumer is unable to drive vehicle due to this reflection. Dealer admitted it was a design flaw, but has no remedy.

5 Windshield problem

There is a reflection from the windshield which is very blinding to the driver. Also the defroster vent on the dash reflects off the windshield so that visibility is impaired. Dealer has no fix. My fix was to place a dark rug on the dash. I feel that this is a design flaw and the manufacturer should correct it.
