The air conditioner doesn't cool properly. It seems that once my car is getting cool the air conditioner will shut off and will blow warm air. There also is a short between the recirculating air button and the outside air button. The lights will blink on and off simultaneously without even touching the buttons. Sometimes an odor will come from the air conditioner. The rear-passenger door is hard to open. My rotors have been resurfaced and replaced. My brake pads have also been replaced but my brakes still grind and squeek.

Rotors and pads were replaced, control panel went out. Happened 3 times.

The same electrical failure has now happened 4x. No one has any idea why it happens or how to fix it.

Vehicle has an electrical cluster which records mileage driven, however instead of recording the mileage, the word error has illuminated, the dealer informed consumer that a computer chip malfunctioned and would cost 400 to 500 dollars to replace it.

Front end suspension rough,clunk, feels loose, brakes/rotors prematurely wearing out, and instrument panel very hot when heater or a/c being used. Radio am already malfunctioned once. Am concerned brakes, front end and fire hazard of this vehicle.
