Driver power window motor failed twice, now the window has to be held in place for it to roll up straight and go into place. Also, plastic on driver door under black 'speaker' cracked with no impact. Passenger rear door entire interior door assembly has separated from the metal and has to be 'popped' back in repeatedly. Air conditioner system fails yearly. Multiple reasons. Trunk leaks terribly. Rear air/heat vents don't blow air anymore and the car isn't even 4 years old!
