Consumer Description

STARTED HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES, 1: WHEN YOU USE THE BUTTON TO ROLL UP FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW OR PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE THE ELECTRIC TRUNK OPENER WILL POP THE TRUNK OPEN. 2: TROUBLE WITH LOW VOLTAGE TO THE WASTE GATE ACCURATER SENSOR THAT CONTROLS THE TURBOCHARGER UNIT. 3: NUMBER 2 DID NOT START UNTIL TWO OTHER CODES SHOWED UP ON MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THOSE TWO CODES ARE P0011 & P0014. THIS ELECTRICAL ISSUE SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. ME AND MY WIFE ARE ON DISABILITY AND CAN NOT AFFORD THE COST OF A DEALERSHIP TO CONTINUE TO TRY TO FIX IT WHEN THEY DON'T EVEN SEEM TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.
