ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE DUE TO WIRING HARNESS MELTING, RADIATOR CRACKED BECAUSE BRACKET FOR AC IS CONNECTED TOO TIGHT WHEN CAR IS MANUFACTURED, BATTERY DIED PREMATURELY BECAUSE OF FAILED WIRES, ROTORS WARPED CAUSING CAR TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHEN BRAKING. ALL THESE PROBLEMS AND OTHERS FOR A CAR WITH ONLY 60,000 MILES. HAVE SPENT OVER $2000 TO DATE IN REPAIRS THAT NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE HAD RELATED TO THIS VEHICLE. BASED ON ONLINE COMPLAINTS AND TALKING TO MECHANICS WHO HAVE WORKED ON THIS CAR NO ONE CAN BELIEVE THAT THE CORRECT ELECTRICAL RECALL HAS TAKEN PLACE. THERE HAVE BEEN ELECTRICAL RECALLS ON VEHICLE, BUT NOT FOR MOST COMMON FAILURE. NO ONE UNDERSTANDS WHY BRAKE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED AND NO ONE UNDERSTANDS WHY THE RADIATORS KEEP FAILING WITHOUT A RECALL. WILL IT TAKE A SERIOUS CRASH? SAFETY OF THE CONSUMER IS AT RISK. YOU PAY $20,000 FOR A CAR AND THINK IT WILL LAST AWHILE. THIS CAR HAS MAJOR PROBLEMS THAT ARE CONSISTENT FROM BUYER TO BUYER. *TR
