He tenido problemas en varias ocasiones con los cristales de las puertas, los handles de las puertas SE rompen, el dash roto, el vinil de los tapa sol SE ha despegado, lo he llevado en varias ocasiones por que el carro esta ahogado Y en dos ocasiones me ha prendido la luz de check engine Y no encuentran nada, dicen que ES la vibracion del motor.
