Purchased the car used, A/C has not be operational since-emits a foul odor. Continuous heater core leaks and failure, emits foul odor resembling antifreeze. Causes nausea and headaches. Not sure if A/C problems and heater core problems are related. Speedometer bounces around after 30mph is exceeded. Cruise control cuts off when going up an incline. Automatic seatbelts stick in position. Beep that alerts when you have a key in the ignition and a door open, beeps constantly even when no key is in ignition, cannot find cause. Cigarette lighter does not work, cannot find cause. Automatic belt tensioner rattles. Have read through the consumer complaints, and it seems as though I just about have them all. Checked date of manufacture for fuel tank recall, one month short of being in recall, have concerns about leakage. Sometimes I do have a fuel odor in the car, especially when car has just been filled up. Any help in this matter would greatly be appreciated.

Driver's seat belt failed to operate properly. Belt would stop the middle of track, leaving driver without proper retraint. Also, passenger's seat belt would intermittently stop operating. Dealer notified, and informed consumer that repairs would be done only at consumer's cost because this vehicle was not covered under a manufacturer's recall.
