Consumer Description

AFTER ONLY 4,000 MILES, THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED! THEN I STARTED NOTICING THE DASH ABOVE THE GLOVE BOX WAS BEGINNING TO CRACK AS WELL AS THE LEFT CHANGE HOLDER (BELOW THE DIMMER SWITCH). NOW THE ENTIRE DASH JUST ABOVE THE GLOVEBOX IS COMPLETELY CRACKED AND THE GLOVE BOX HANGS DOWN. THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE DIMMER SWITCH...THE DASH AREA IS COMPLETELY CRACKED THROUGH. I AM NOT ROUGH ON MY CAR...THIS IS NOT JUST WEAR AND TEAR. OTHER ISSUES INCLUDE THE DRIVE SHAFT MAKING A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN TURNING (ESPECIALLY TO THE LEFT). THE AUTO LOCKS NO LONGER WORK (BUTTON ON DOOR WON'T LOCK THE DOORS...ONLY UNLOCKS THEM), AND A REAL SAFETY ISSUE IS THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR SOMETIMES WON'T UNLOCK...EVEN WHEN THE HANDLE IS PULLED. IT HAS TO BE MANUALLY LIFTED UP. *TR
