When it rains or after car wash gas fill compartment is full of water. There is no drain in there and the water sloshes around until it finally evaporates. Worried about water entering full tank. My guess is that they forgot to install a drain hole or tube. Sincerely:[xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

At times, when pressing the gas to go from a stop my vehicle will try to stall and not go, I have to let off the gas and press again and hope it picks up that time

When I go to pull out it will not accelerate almost coming to a dead stop and it will not change gears it will almost red line.. you have to let off the gas to get it to change gears and while driving on an interstate my car just stopped also when you hit your breaks or hit a bump in the road it pulls to one side. Also when I first purchased my car the ignition was broken on the inside which caused my key to get stuck. And to this day I am still having problems with my car plus the bevels on my dash board was broken
