There is an electrical short throughout the vehicle. The problem first startedon May 1, 2005. The first thing to go wrong was one of the speakers, whick made a static sound when it was turned off. Then, the lights on the dashboard started flashing on and off. Next all the electrical units flashed. The problem was constant and ongoing. It occurred even when the engine iwasturned off.

There were problems with electric windows and a crack in the dash. The electric windows had stuck shut due to the tight seal designed to reduce the wind noise, and the crack in the dash was around the passenger side air bag and appeared where the material was stretched over the air bag underneath. Also, when the vehicle was two months old, the front wheel rotors had to be replaced, the battery was replaced in the first year, before 50K a defective bearing on the cooling fan was required to be replaced.
