1, At about 12000 miles the car's windshield wipers stop working. And did not ever work again for the past several years. Wipers which was checked the motor was replaced to admission to the key was replaced and wiper still don't work. 2, About 24000 miles Was turning the vehicle around on a inclined road in the mountains went to pull forward and the steering wheel would not work anymore which resulted in me crashing into a ravine dropping about 10 feet off the side of the cliff. 3, 33000 miles time issue occurred I was doing 75 on the Kansas turnpike and a curb came up as I entered the term for the curve that wheel would not turn and I kept going straighitting the guard railBut just only grazing it for I regained power to my steering at the last moment. And now currently again. dealership still cannot fix issue Instead they just charge me outrageous prices for not fixing anything and then threatened to call the cops on me if I don't pay it or agree to the service department's terms this has happened at 2 different dealerships.

I went to start my car and discovered that my windshield cracked directly in the middle of the windshield, there isn't a chip or anything indicating that something hit the windshield. It was a U shaped crack directly in the middle. I have no recollection of anything ever hitting against the windshield, it seems to have just cracked on its own. Car was parked in a driveway prior to the crack appearing.

I parked my car in the driveway after work without a cracked windshield. I went to go to work in the morning with a cracked windshield. No impact marks.... it is as if my windshield spontaneously cracked while parked in 50 degree weather. What if something actually hits my windshield"?? am I safe??? how often do I get to replace this defective design??"

The side mirrors shake at highway speeds rendering them useless. I've worked with the dealership to fix the issue only to be told that they all do this. I then had the mirror assembly replaced but still have the same issue. This severely inhibits my vision while driving.
