Transmission locked up in second gear and would not shift out of gear up or down. Also, ABS brake system has a defect in the system, causing extended stopping distance when pedal is pushed. In addition, A/C unit replaced three times/ electric seat wiring is defective/ door handles keep bending when attempting to open doors, and rear seal leakage. Repair work and replacements done at owner's expense. Problems still occur. Provide further information.
