| 2007 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | LEFT SIDE HEADLIGHT HAS SHORT IN IT. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BULB 4 TIMES IN ONE MONTH AND NOW A NEW ONE DOESN'T EVEN WORK. *TR |
| 2012 | SUSPENSION | MY CAR BEGAN PULLING STRONGLY TO THE LEFT AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND ARRANGED TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. OUR DEALERSHIP FIRST SUGGESTED A ROADFORCE BALANCE AND WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND WANTED TO CHARGE US $250. SINCE THE CAR HAD RECENTLY BEEN TO THEM FOR SERVICE INCLUDING TIRE BALANCING AND ROTATION, I PUSHED BACK AND REFUSED THIS SUGGESTED REMEDY. I HAD READ ONLINE HOW PEOPLE WERE EXPERIENCING THIS "PULLING" PROBLEM. IT DOES MAKE YOUR ARMS TIRED FIGHTING TO STAY ON THE ROAD. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP MANAGEMENT AND INFORMED THEM OF THE IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS I WAS FINDING ONLINE. TO THE MANAGER AND OUR SALESMAN'S CREDIT, THEY MADE THE SERVICE DEPT LOOK HARDER. A THOROUGH INSPECTION FOUND THAT THE STEERING "TOE" WAS NOT CALIBRATED PROPERLY. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AT ZERO (0), BUT INSTEAD WAS AT +1. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT RESET THE TOE BACK TO ZERO. EVERYTHING HAS BEEN FINE SO FAR. (2 WEEKS.) *TR |
