MY TRACTION CONTROL GOES CRAZY EVEN WHEN THE WEATHER IS NICE. WHEN DRIVING THE TRACTION CONTROL WILL START BLINKING AND TURN OFF. MY SAFETY RESTRAINT SYSTEM HAS AN ERROR AND MY SEAT BELT LATCH IS BROKEN. THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT BECAUSE ITS NOT AN ISSUE. MY CAR MAKES LOUD BEEPS WHEN I START. MY KEYLESS ENTRY HAS MALFUNCTIONED SINCE 2 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT IN DEC OF 2018. THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME TO "LOOK AT IT". IT SAYS THERE ARE NO KEYS IN THE VEHICLE WHEN I AM DRIVING. MY AIRBAGS ARE MALFUNCTIONING. IT IS NOT REGISTERING PEOPLE SITTING IN THE VEHICLE. WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IT FLASHES THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE OFF. I WEIGHT 220LBS I AM MORE THAN ENOUGH TO SET THAT SENSOR OFF AND WHEN I DRIVE IT WILL NOT ENGAGE.
