Consumer Description

THE HORN/ALARM WILL SOUND RANDOMLY AND FOR NO APPARENT REASON, OFTEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD OR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. THE KEYFOB WILL LODGE IN AND THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS "DEAD". REPLACED BATTERY THINKING IT WAS BATTERY ISSUE. ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS "DEAD" EVERY FEW DAYS. THERE IS A STRANGE DRAG/CLICK SOUND WHEN TURNING WHEEL. MANY OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT ARE BIZARRE AND COMPLETELY RANDOM. AT TIMES YOU HAVE TO START, KILL, RESTART ENGINE AND FINALLY WILL GO IN GEAR. I KEEP CHECKING FOR RECALLS AS THIS APPEARS, THROUGH MULTIPLE POSTS I HAVE READ, TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR MODEL. I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP TAKING TO DEALERSHIPS FOR ISSUES THAT CLEARLY ARE RELATED TO THE MANUFACTURING OF THE VEHICLE.
