I have had to replace 3 brand new batteries which were still under warranty, because they were totally drained. I believe there is something wrong with the electrical system. There is nothing that I have done that should have caused the batteries to die. The blower on the air conditioner/heat doesn't work and the dealer states that they can't find anything wrong with it. The cover of the passenger side airbag is prying up from the dashboard. I have had the brakes replace 2 times all ready and now all the rotors are warped and need to be replaced. I think this vehicle make has very serious defects and after reviewing other consumers problems. I'm very glad that I plan to sell mine very shortly.

Engine completely failed at 75000 miles. Records kept and maitained according to manufacturer. They would not replace it. I had to 1300+ to get it fixed. Now I have been told I need a new head gasket and I know it had been replaced 2 times since I have had it. I am having major problems with the brake system. I have had 2 new sets of rotors put on, rotors turned numerous times and it still shakes badly. Need to have them recall this problems, cause everyone I have talked to has the same problem.
