BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2012; WHEN I BOUGHT IT THE DEALER HAD JUST HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL FIXED (SWITCH REPLACED?) LATER THAT YEAR THE CC QUIT WORKING AGAIN; SO I GOT IT FIXED ( REPLACED) AGAIN UNDER WARRANTY. THEN ABOUT FEBRUARY 2015 THE CC QUIT AGAIN. THEN WHEN I HAD THE CAR AT THE DEALER I TOLD THEM IT DIDN'T WORK AND THEY TESTED IT AND AID IT WORKED. WELL NOW 4/20/15, THE CC QUIT AGAIN; AND HAS NOT WORKED ALL WEEK. VERY INCONVENIENT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT A SPEEDING TICKET. BASICALLY IT HAS WORKED ON AND OFF. I AM HOPING IT STARTS WORKING AGAIN BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO PAY AND TAKE THE CAR TO A DEALER AGAIN. I HOPE TO HEAR BACK ABOUT THIS BUT BASICALLY THE SWITCH FOR THE CC HAS BEEN REPLACED AT LEAST TWICE AND IS NOT RELIABLE. OTHERWISE I LOVE MY CAR....

WHILE COMING A STOP, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SHOWED A 'SYSTEM ERROR' LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN. IT WOULD NOT RESTART AND WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. TRAFFIC WAS IMPEDED AND A SERIES OF ACCIDENTS WERE NARROWLY AVOIDED. AFTER TOWING IT TO THE DEALER, I'M TOLD THAT THE LIKELY CULPRIT IS THE ALTERNATOR WHICH "ARE KNOWN TO GO OUT ON THESE CARS, RIGHT AROUND THE EXPIRATION OF THE WARRANTY," ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN. WARRANTY ON THIS PART IS 36,000 MILES AND MY CAR WAS AT 36,650 MILES. AFTER YELLING AND SCREAMING, THE TECHNICIAN SAID HE COULD LOWER THE COST FROM $1,100 TO $900. WHEN PRESSED, HE SAID THE PRICE FOR THE ALTERNATOR ALONE WAS $600, EXCLUDING ANY LABOR. I AM FURIOUS THAT THIS IS A 'KNOWN PROBLEM' AND YET THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL AND FROM THE LIST OF OTHER COMPLAINANTS ON THIS SITE, IT'S OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS A CONSISTENT...
