WHILE DRIVING ON A STREET IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, WE FOUND THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH COULD BE MOVED TO THE "OFF" OR "ACCESSORY" POSITION WHILE DRIVING. NOTICED THAT STEERING, BRAKES, AND OTHER COMPONENTS BECAME DISABLED. LUCKILY WE WERE ABLE TO SAFELY MOVE THE VEHICLE TO THE ROADSIDE AND ASSESS THE SITUATION. A PROBLEM LIKE THIS COULD RESULT IN CATASTROPHIC SYSTEM FAILURE IN THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS, AND COULD CAUSE POSSIBLE DEATH IF WE WEREN'T AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE INFORM OTHER VEHICLE OWNERS OF THIS POSSIBLE DANGEROUS ISSUE.
EXCESSIVE RUST BUILD UP ON BRAKE ROTORS AND CALIPERS. ROTORS & PADS PREVIOUSLY REPLACED IN MAR., 2007 AFTER DRIVING 40,000 MILES. NEEDED REPLACEMENT AGAIN IN OCT., 2009 AFTER ONLY DRIVING 14,000 ADDITIONAL MILES. INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILED AND WAS REPLACED IN JUNE, 2011 AT 58,000 MILES. DEALER ADVISED NO RECALL ON THIS MODEL, ALTHOUGH IDENTICAL INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS FOR NEWER VEHICLES HAD BEEN RECALLED AND WERE BEING REPLACED AT NO CHARGE. *TR
OVER THE PAST 3 YEARS LIGHTED ODOMETER AND DRIVE DISPLAY FLICKER ON AND OFF. NOTICED THAT DISPLAY WOULD NOT WORK IN COLD TEMPS. APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS AGO LOST ALL DISPLAY. VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 96000 MILES ON IT. *TR
