Consumer Description
LA PINTURA DE LA GUAGUA SE ESTA SALIENDO. LAS PUERTAS DELANTERAS TIENEN PROBLEMAS CUANDO QUIERES ABRIR O CERRAR LAS MISMAS CON EL LLAVERO. SE LE DAO A AMBAS PUERTAS DELANTERAS EL MOTOR O LO QUE LE LLAMAN "ACTUATOR" A UNA SEMANA DE DIFERENCIA Y CUANDO INTENTO ABRIR LA PUERTA DESDE ADENTRO PARA BAJARME SE QUEDA CERRADA Y NO ME PERMITE ABRIRLA TENGO QUE ESTAR DNDOLE LOCK/UNLOCK HASTA QUE ME DEJA QUITARLE EL SEGURO PARA PODER BAJARME DE LA GUAGUA; ESTO ASUNTO EN PARTICULAR ME PREOCUPA EN CASO DE ALGN ACCIDENTE NO PUEDA ABRIRLA. OTRO PROBLEMA QUE TIENE ES QUE CADA 3 MESES, ES QUE LAS BOMBILLAS DE "STOP" DEL LADO DERECHO SE DAA Y TENGO QUE ESTAR CAMBINDOLA. ESTO HA SUCEDIDO DESDE APROXIMADAMENTE DICIEMBRE 2015. THE PAINT IS COMING OUT. THE FRONT DOORS HAVE PROBLEMS WHEN YOU WANT TO OPEN OR CLOSE THEM WITH THE KEY RING. BOTH FRONT DOORS DAMAGED THE WHAT THEY CALL THE ACTUATOR A WEEK APART AND WHEN I TRY TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR FROM THE INSIDE TO GET OUT THE CAR IT IS CLOSED AND I CAN'T OPEN IT I HAVE TO BE HIT THE LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON UNTIL IT LETS ME REMOVE THE LOCK TO GET OFF THE CAR; THIS ISSUE IN PARTICULAR WORRIES ME BECAUSE IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT I WON'T BE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FAST. ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT HAS IS THAT EVERY 3 MONTHS, THE BULBS LIGHT FOR STOP ON THE RIGHT SIDE HAS TO BE CHANGE BECAUSE IT DAMAGE AND I HAVE TO BE CHANGING IT. THIS HAS BEEN APPENING SING AROUND DECEMBER 2015.
