Brakes grinding/squealing/reduced stopping power (18 months before replaced by dealer) vehicle accelerated when foot removed from pedal and I was forced to ride and come close to locking the brakes before I hit a base security guard after arriving home vehicle continued surging while at idle(still waiting on parts/appointment from dealer, still driving the car with these because I can't afford one of their rental cars) electrical shorts starting from the ignition switch to the spark plugs(due to faulty dealer installation of auto start, I have seen blue arcs of electricity across the fuse box, I have been shocked by the car on numerous ocasions.) clunking coming from front and rear suspension, rear hatch lock would not relase. Rear hatch wouldnot hold door closed after dealer repair.
