5incidents: 1) mildew odor from aircondition (brought car to check--date not available). The aircondition was replaced with either new or used part. 2) went to reno (snowing) and the aircondition (hot/cold) did not defrost properly on the windshield. All fogged with no visibility. I sticked my head to the side window and drive very slowly & on a slow lane behind a huge truck--it was very dangerous and scary!!!!! 3) periodically, the left signal light flash too fast but by hitting the front side of the car it's went back to normal. 6) wheel alignment--always have problem with that too (at the moment cannot recall details). 5) on 6/9/04, my husband went to get a smog check. The car has about 15,000 miles bu it didn't passed the emission control systems visual inspection/functional check results. "malfunction indicator light--fail. This vehicle failed the mil/check engine light due to obd communications failure."--no signal. The car is hardly used and parked in garage. What should we do and how can you help? thanks ;-)!!!
