1 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 01/18/2024

While driving my regular commute to work with the radio on, the radio and interior lights (not sure if headlights because I can't see them) flashed on and off and the power steering warning light flashed on and off. At that time, the car jerked and I lost power steering for a moment. This happened several times and the radio stopped working. This did not happen on the way home, but reoccured a few days later. I made an appointment with the dealer they had my car for the day and were not able to locate the issue, but they fixed my radio and told me to bring it back if it happened again. They checked alternator, fuses, and looked for an electrical short. A few weeks later, it happened again, I brought the car back and they could not find the problem, but fixed the radio. The car was fine for a month and it is happening again. Losing power steering while driving is a serious safety hazard for myself and others.

4 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2013

From the first year the Fits front light covers are so scratched from nature visabity when driving at night is dangerous. I have had them buffed and shined with the same result happening. The factory tint is so bubbled and faded disability out of the rear window is a safety hazard. The paint on the roof and hood looks like it has completely faded off and they continue to get worse. I inquired at year 3 about these issues and was told it is not warranted. That I could pay someone to replace the tent, headlight covers and get it repainted. It is very hard to see put if the window and at night with the headlights.
