Multiple problems with this car since purchase. Unknown engine failure problem (dealership was unable to pinpoint problem), transmission sensors failed, rotors replaced 8 times in 4 years, black tar coming from doors, numerous alignment problems, and the big problem - the seat belt buckles keep failing. Passenger side replaced by dealership under warranty. Driver side now failing as well. Huge safety hazard! dealership says "car not under warranty".

Have replaced brake pads and tires numerous times. Check engine light stays on, except for when it starts blinking(will blink 100 times or more before it stays illuminated) maintenance schedule has been followed, most things were replaced before scheduled. Door handle broke off when opening the unlocked door. The car now stalls at red lights and sometimes does not want to start at all. The car does not idle correctly ever, usually about 300 rpms.
