| 2006 | AIR BAGS | THE SENSOR BUILT INTO THE PASSENGER SEAT THAT CONTROLS THE AIRBAG IS DEFECTIVE. THE FIX IS A $2000 TOTAL SEAT REPLACEMENT. UNACCEPTABLE. THE CAR THINKS A DOOR OR HATCH IS OPEN AND TURNS THE OVERHEAD LIGHT ON AND OFF ALL THE TIME. ANOTHER SENSOR. YOU HAVE TO BE HOUDINI TO INSTALL A BULB IN THE FRONT LIGHT ASSEMBLY AND THE BULB IS HELD BY A RINKY DINK CLIP THAT DOESN'T HOLD SO THE FRONT LIGHTS ARE SUBJECT TO GOING OUT. THE CLIP WON'T HOLD THE BULB IN PLACE AND EVEN THE DEALER HAS PROBLEMS WHEN YOUR BULB BURNS OUT OR MANY TIMES JUST BECOMES LOOSE. *TR |
