Consumer Description

THE DRIVERS SIDE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS GO HAYWIRE ON OCCASION. IT HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING, OR STATIONARY. HAPPENS IN ALL CONDITIONS. SOMETIMES I CAN'T MOVE MY SEAT, ROLL THE WINDOWS UP OR DOWN, OR UNLOCK THE DOORS USING THE DRIVERS SIDE CONTROLS. ADDITIONALLY, THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WILL NOT ROLL DOWN A MAJORITY OF THE TIME. THE RADIO ALSO, SWITCHES ITSELF FROM RADIO TO SAYING THERE IS AN AC ADAPTER PLUGGED IN SO IT WONT PLAY MUSIC, WHEN THERE IS NO ADAPTER TO INPUT MUSIC PLUGGED IN. THE GUARD OVER THE SEAT CONTROLS CAME UNHOOKED ABOUT A MONTH AFTER PURCHASE WITHOUT ANYONE TOUCHING IT. I HAVE REATTACHED IT BACK INTO PLACE NUMEROUS TIMES, IT DOESN'T STAY. I CALLED DEALER AND HE WAS CONFIDENT THERE WOULD BE A RECALL SOON TO COVER IT. HAS BEEN ALMOST 3 YEARS AND MY WARRANTY HAS ALREADY BEEN UP, AND THE RECALL THAT WAS "SURE TO COVER IT" HAS NOT HAPPENED YET.
