I only have 2 speeds on my heater blower, lo and 2. I also have had smoke comming from under the dash or from a heater vent when the heater has been on. When I go over a bump regardless of how small there is a thump sound that comes from the trunk area. The suspension system seems to hit really hard with any kind of bump in the road. I also had to have the headlight switch assy fixed according the recall because of taillight and panel failure.

Smells like raw gas all the time. Had the vehicle at the dealer was not able to find the problem. Two weeks ago vehicle went to the shop for a fuel pump. On highway while trying to pull over to the shoulder, something had popped out and started smoking under the hood, hit the concrete and both airbags came out.
