| Interior Lighting problems |
I just purchased this vehicle from a car dealer. Since I purchase my bolts to the back brakes came out. Front end is making noises especially when turning the wheel. Back window is ready to break off missing passenger side hinge to hold the window in place. Brakes squeal. Electrical system is not working properly for example the power doors do not unlock, the power seat does not adjust when you push the button, the trunk can not be opened with the key, the doors have to be unlock manually.
The interior light continues to remain on and the dash readout indicates that there is a door open when there actually isn't. As a result, the driver's side door will not lock as long as the car believes there is an unlocked door.
At night dashlights would not turn on, could not see what gear it was in. There was an electrical burning smell, then dash lights went out.
While loading the trunk, the light bulb was on. When consumer closed trunk the light bulb burned part of the luggage, bulb was not protected. Owner concerned about the possiblity that the bulb could start a fire.
