Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE SINCE I PURCHASED IT LESS THAN A YEAR AGO. THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE. THE ONLY WAY TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE IS TO PUT DOWN THE WINDOW AND OPEN THE HANDLE FROM THE OUTSIDE HANDLE. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR PANEL IS LOOSE. THE ELECTRICAL PANEL WITH THE POWER WINDOW AND DOOR LOCKS OCCASIONALLY COMES RIGHT OUT OF THE DOOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE. ROOF RACK HAS STARTED TO COME OFF IN THE UPPER RIGHT HAND CORNER NEAR PASSENGER SIDE. SIDE PANELS OF THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS ARE LOOSE AND WHEN YOU GO TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE THEY CATCH ON YOUR CLOTHING. THEY ARE UNABLE TO BE REPAIRED AS THEY ARE MADE OF PLASTIC. THE PANELING UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME LOOSE AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AS IT GOT STUCK ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. I FEEL THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS MADE WITH POOR QUALITY AND IS UNSAFE WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS THAT KEEP HAPPENING. *TR
