Started down the road and lost control of the car the power steering light came on and there was a lot of play in the wheel. I then attempted to get it back home where it was very hard to turn and the dash computer was all haywire not showing correct data. This supposedly had been fixed under a recall just 5 months prior to me purchasing.
While driving down the road all power windows quit, at a later date the car started idling rough, air bag light came on this continued for some time then all the dash lights and head lights started going crazy as well as the instrument panel gauges going haywire, this is a continuing problem as dealers have no clue what's wrong.
Since vehicle was new issues with radio and left speaker, dash lights flashing on and off, complaints to dealer went un-resolved until warranty was over then they wanted to look at it. Now at 52,000 miles instrument panel and tail lights went out, static on radio. Found blown fuse, replaced and it blew out again, leaving me with no instrument panel lights or tail lights. Have found similar complaints on other web sites. As of present time no solution to the issue. Failure occurred at 5am while driving on the interstate.
