I have owned this car for about 8 months and the windshield has now cracked or chipped twice from small stones off the road. I have significant worries about the quality of this glass if it is failing so easily. I understand the issues could be flukes, but I am not sure after a second failure. The stone in this incident was very small and should not, in my opinion, caused a crack so easily. I am very worried in regards to a larger failure and hope you can investigate the issue.
Transmission slippage, failure to properly engage wheels/gears and accelerate the vehicle. Sometimes results in no movement; or it results in movement only at a specific speed and only shutting the vehicle off or keeping the brake applied will stop the vehicle. The vehicle appears to be creeping forward w/o any fuel released. Other issues: seat belt locking does not remain locked. Repeatedly. The vehicle is dangerous. Also, the wiper fluid fails to make contact with the windshield. Extremely poor visibility. No fluid spraying onto the windshields. Washer pump works fine, fluid enters the lines, it just doesn't come out of the spouts and there are no leaks. Brand new battery. . . Seems almost dead today. Heater. . . The ice cold air outside is now circulating inside, full blast 30 - 40 minutes, no heat. Headlamp bulbs just changed (again). Several recalls associated with the headlamps and components that facilitate "light" illumination from the head lamps. Had the alignment checked twice with tire type changes recently, the pulling I feel constantly on the road. . . Apparently not the alignment, but more indicative of transmission issues. If I can manage to get the car moving , to start and move safely, I will be getting fluid exhcanges for coolant system and transmission, and then digest some feedback from those procedures, and I might be needing to get those areas flushed as well. The roadway dangers while driving with a vehicle that does not respond according to general expectations (press the accelerator and enjoy an increase in movement speed, for instance). Everything reported about this vehicle now blares loudly as warnings, fire hazards, and general hazards associated with failure to control speed, even safety belt restraints failing to restrain "anything". Somehow it seems like the manufacturer should be compelled to recall the car forever.
