POWER DOOR LOCKS NO LONGER FUNCTION FROM THE MAIN DRIVERS DOOR LOCK, TAPE DECK DIED WITH AT TAPE INSIDE, REAR DRIVERS SIDE PASSENGER DOOR LATCH CANNOT BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE USING THE HANDLE-MUST BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE, BACKUP LIGHT/LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS WILL NOT WORK REGARDLESS OF BULBS..WIRING IS DEAD, TRANSMISSION SLIPPED FROM DRIVE SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY INTO NEUTRAL, JUST DIED ENTIRELY AFTER BEING PARKED. TRANSMISSION WILL NO LONGER ENGAGE..NOT A FLUID ISSUE. ALSO HAVE HAD MULTIPLE THERMOSTAT FAILURES IN THE WINTER RESULTING IN NO HEAT. REPLACE THIS ABOUT EVERY 2 YEARS ON AVERAGE.
RESIN MOLDED FRONT HANDLES FAIL AT THE DOOR LATCH ACTUATING ROD ATTACHMENT, FREEING THE ROD TO FALL INSIDE THE DOOR FRAME. SUBSEQUENT LOWERING OF THE ASSOCIATED WINDOW MAY FORCE THE ACTUATING ROD DOWNWARD AND RELEASE THE DOOR LATCH.
