The driver's side front window refuses to work. The switch was going bad when I bought it and now it just won't work at all. Before it went totally it went up and down on its own.
The radio that was in there didn't work. I replaced it with the one I had from my old car. About a month after the radio was replaced, the alarm system went haywire. It goes off when driving and never shuts off. I had called the dealer and he said it was because of the alarm.
The radio in the car usually doesn't stay on by itself.. only if you are lucky. To get it to stay on you have to turn the key a slight bit more and hold it. Or turn the left turn signal. Or sometimes even if you bump the steering wheel the radio will turn off.
One day the car decided to keep stalling. Every time you would go to turn it back on, the on-dash clock would reset to 12:00. Even if the car didn't stall and you shut it off and went to get in it later, it would still reset.
The car is a great looking car and is very comfortable.
It has very many electrical and computer problems.
I had the same problem with the stalling. We initially thought it was the alternator, but it turned out to be the starter.
Had the same problem with the clock resetting.
ADD TO THAT the fact that the tachometer stayed at the last measured rpm, and power locks, sunroof and alarm system didn't work.
Turns out it had an electrical problem with the fuse (some cables were pealed under the dash causing problems). Mechanic charged 35 bucks to fix it.
Currently have an issue with water leak I don't know where the coolant is going and car shakes when I want get from 1st 2nd to 3rd.
O2 Sensor anyone?
Hope this helps.
