Rear window has progressively gotten more blurred and mottled, reducing visibility. At this point the only clear part is a small section in the middle. Approximately over 3/4 of window is blurry at present. This began over 3 years ago and worked its way from the outside towards the middle.

The windshield wipers flew off of my car during a rain storm while I was driving. I was told by the place that repaired it that the dealership didn't fasten them on correctly. When I took my car in for an oil change the service technician said he fixed my recall as well - the car never had a recall repair notice ! air conditioner does not work - when service did oil change they tried to tell me it was going to be 415 dollars to fix the air because the discharge hose is leaking. The discharge hose costs $11 on the internet & valvolene instant oil change will refill the freon in your car for less than 140 dollars. The brake lights all have needed replaced consistently every other month - I'm wondering if there is some kind of short in the wiring?

The passenger side sun visor does not return to its proper flush position when not in use, so it would come into contact with the top of the passengers heads in the event of an accident, creating a serious safety risk.

The driver's visor hinge fails (pulls loose) during normal operation and then blocks the driver's field of vision by moving to the midway position between being fully opened and fully closed. Had to remove visor to safely operate the vehicle.

On more than one occasion I have had issues with pedestrians being in my blind spot while driving. Today (7/26/13), I nearly hit a woman in a parking lot who was perfectly positioned in the same blind spot. The blind spot is the support beam the is located between the drivers window and the front windshield. I am extremely concerned that I may one day end up hitting and injuring someone as a nearly did today. The rear or the car also has a terrible blind spot as the car is raised in the rear making it hard to see anyone walking behind the car. Please do something to correct this before people get hurt.
