| Turn Signal Switch problems | |
| Fog Lights problems |
: the contact stated the headlights turned off momentarily when the steering wheel was tilted. The headlights came on by themselves without prior indication. The contact detected the odor of something burning. The vehicle was taken to an independent repair shop, which discovered the multi function turn signal switch shorted out. Although there was no fire the connecting wires and terminals were black and melted. The turn signal switch was replaced.
Consumer stated brake failure resulted in extended stopping distance. Took to a dealer for this issue 3 times. Dealer's general manager said there was some type of problem but he did not know what caused it. No repairs or parts replaced. On oct 18, 2004 the rear rotors were turned. Even after the rotors were turned the brakes still performed poorly. The right fog light fell off while driving.
