Interior overhead sagging above dome light, tried to have dealer fix (same condition after "repair"). traction control button failed, had to be replaced. Ash tray light failed 3 times, dealer replaced. Ventilation blower only works on high speed - all other speeds burned out over 2 weeks (could smell electrical burning). Remote control works half of the time, no improvement after dealer replaced batteries, saying "white film" was a known cause of remotes not working. Change oil light came on 1000miles after last oil change, coinciding with fan blower burning out. Had to replace all 4 tires because of irregular wearing on rear and premature alignment drift on the front. Brake dust is excessive - front rims always coated black from dust. Some hesitation when automatic is shifting gears. Oxygen sensor replaced after 4 trips to the dealer to determine cause of "service engine soon light" coming on while accelerating. Adding 1liter engine coolant per month - no leaks noted under vehicle.

Instrument panel and gauges would get wet& disappear when vehicle is being washed or when ever it rains. Odometer could roll back mileage on its own. Would always be incorrect. Took to dealership & mechanic informed consumer that problem cannot be duplicated, and cannot repair problem.

When you turn the key to the on position all the lights come on. If you wait a minute they all go out execpt for engine check light. I took to dealer, and said it stays on longer then fiveminutes, and nothing was done* about it.
