I have had numerous problems with this car including electrical blow-outs everywhere including both headlights and both foglights, battery explosion, HVAC knobs not working, interior lights blowing out, both headlight covers falling off, water pump replaced, side mirror pins nonfunctional, interior carpet replaced due to improper installation, radio/clock face blowing out, and most recently a faulty alternator that had to be replaced. I thought I might have gotten a lemon, but after reading all of the complaints on this message board, I'm beginning to think that these cars are junk. When my headlamp covers fell off, I had to pay an exorbitant fee for them. Is there a recall after so many complaints??
