LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT AND WARNING BELL COMES ON STAYS ON , EVERYTHING HAS BEEN CHECK MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE OIL PRESSURE IS FINE. ALSO PASSENGER SIDE DOORS WILL NOT UNLOCK AND THE BACK HATCH WILL NOT OPEN FROM OUTSIDE AND I HAVE TO CLIMB IN THE BACK WITH A FLATHEAD SCREWDRIVER TO UNLOCK IT! ONLY GOT TO ACTUALLY USE THE BACK END TWICE WHEN WE GOT THIS CAR BEFORE IT DID THIS. I REALLY HATE THIS CAR BUT NEED THIS STUFF FIXED!

KEY DOES NOT ALWAYS RELEASE FROM IGNITION SWITCH. MUST PLAY WITH BUTTON :FAST PUSHES ON SHIFT GEAR CHANGER UNTIL CLICKING ARE HEARD AND KEY RELEASES. THE CAR ONLY HAS 30,000 MILES. TOLD COST WOULD BE AT LEAST 350.00 TO FIX. TIRE SENSORS HAVE ALREADY GONE OUT TOO.

LEFT SIDE WINDOWS AND LOCKS WILL NOT OPEN WITH KEY OR REMOTE PERIODICALLY. AIR BAG LIGHT OFF WHEN SITTING AND COMES ON WHEN NO ONE ON PASNGR SIDE. CAR WAS REAR ENDED AND FRONT ENDED BUT FERRMAN STATED THEY FIXED PROPERLY. DOOR LOCKS AND WINDOWS WORKED FINE BEFORE THAT AND AIR BAG HAS BEEN A PROBLEM BUT STATING I HAVE TO PAY FOR ALL REPAIRS. I FEEL THAT THERE ARE ENOUGH AIR BAG RECALLS TO ADD THE 2008 TO THE LIST OF 2007 ONES. THIS VEHICLE IS A LIMITED EDITION. ONLY TWO YRS MADE. PARTS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE AND HARD TO GET NOW. THESE ARE MANUFACTURED DEFECTS SINCE I HAD THE WINDOW AND DOOR LOCK CHANGED ON THE DRIVERS DOOR AT COST OF OVER $400.00. AND STILL DOENST WORK AGAIN. AFTER DRIVING A FEW BLOCKS AND STOP MY DOORS AND WINDOWS OPEN PROPERLY. I THINK THEY WERE JARRED IN THE ACCIDENT AND FIXED BY FERMAN PROPERLY IN FL. WE WERE REAR AND FRONT ENDED AND WE WERE STOPPED AND THE TRUCK HIT US AT APPROX. 60 MILES PER HR.
