Was driving, at night, approximately 30mph, the interior lights went out. The problem would be intermittently. Was informed by another motorist that no rear brake lights were visible. This only happens when the interior lights go out. Had taken vehicle to a mechanic who repaired the multifunction switch.
Every winter windshield wipers become frozen and obstruct the driver's view. Also the engine stalled at any speed. . Also the dash lights work intermittently.
Vehicle has experienced severe electrical problems. While driving power locks intermittently popped up and down on their own. Right side windows will go down, but will not come back up with out physically pulling them up by hand. Dome light popped on intermittently, and the vehicle had to be jump started at least six times since eleven months of ownership.
Headlights and dash lights went out. Cruise quits then works. Power windows quit, then work. Dealer checked grounds and installed new headlight and power window switchs. Now power door locks quit and cruise quit again. Feel unsafe driving vehicle, especially at night. Problems not solved.
