Power locks go on and off repeatedly, making all kinds of racket and buzzing sounds, even when car is turned off!! have to play with key and locks to get into the car... fuel door opens on own repeatedly, won't stay shut. Brakes make a deep growling sound when gently pressing the brake pedal. Car has 40,000 miles on it...I have an appointment on 11/4/03 to get this repaired..I shudder at what this will cost...any advice please email me mysticnature@aol.com.
