| 2000 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING | HAVE REPEATEDLY NOTIFIED SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED THAT MY REMOTE ENTRY SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK. I CAN ONLY OPEN THE DRIVER DOOR OR THE TRUNK--RARELY ABLE TO OPEN BOTH THE DRIVER DOOR AND PASSENGER DOOR EVEN WITH REPEATED ATTEMPTS. I FEEL THE SENSORS ARE NOT WORKING BUT THE DEALERSHIP BRUSHES THE SITUATION UNDER THE RUG AND NEVER ADDRESSES THE PROBLEM. IN TODAYS WORLD IT BECOMES DANGEROUS AT TIMES TO NOT BE ABLE TO ENTER VEHICLE PROMPTLY--NOT TO MENTION IT IS A REAL "PAIN IN THE BUTT" DURING A RAIN STORM. |
| 2004 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | PROBLEM IS SPEEDOMETER. DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH, AS SUN WAS SETTING, SPEEDOMETER SLOWLY WENT 60 TO ZERO OR A LOW NUMBER (OVER 5-10 MINUTES) WITH NO ACTUAL CHANGE IN SPEED. THIS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL CONSECUTIVE DAYS. CURRENTLY, FOR MANY MONTHS, SPEEDOMETER IS NOT ACCURATE. E.G. GOING ABOUT 40 MPH, READS 20 MPH. E.G. GOING ABOUT 35 MPH, READS 120 MPH, REPEAT 120 MPH. E.G. CAR AT STANDSTILL, SPEEDOMETER READS 120 MPH. E.G. GOING 40 MPH, READS ZERO. OFTEN SHOWS CORRECT SPEED THEN SLOWLY GOES DOWN WITH NO CHANGE IN ACTUAL SPEED. VERY DANGEROUS ON HIGHWAY AT NIGHT NOT KNOWING HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING. SEARCHED INTERNET, MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. PROBLEM - POSSIBLY STEPPER MOTORS. NEED RECALL. *TR |
