Areas for improvement: Suspension, radiator, speakers, door sills
When I bought this car, I thought that it was the greatest car of all time. I still love this car. I love the way it handles, the way it looks, all the features, and the power. But I have had so many problems with it. Thankfully they were fixed under warranty, but this latest problem has me pulling my hair out.
I have had this problem since about 90000 miles. The suspension or something squeaks loudly every time the car bounces. Sometimes even the smallest bounce is noisy. The dealer mis-diagnosed the problem and said that the shocks needed to be replaced. I replaced both shocks and springs, and it still squeaks whenever the car bounces. It is really annoying. The car is in another shop right now trying to locate the problem. I hope they find it. I can't enjoy the car if it's squeaking all the time.
All the following problems occurred between 26000 and 100000 miles. I had a 100K warranty so almost all work was covered.
The speed sensor became faulty. It was replaced under warranty.
Driver's side seat heater stopped working. Replaced under warranty.
Passenger side inside door handle wouldn't work, because the inner cable broke. Replaced under warranty.
Radiator top tank had a leak. Fixed under warranty.
Automatic climate control unit was faulty. Replaced under warranty.
Rear Speakers/grill rattled. Fixed/replaced twice.
Glove box dampener mechanism broke several times. Fixed under warranty.
Alarm actuator within door locks went faulty several times. Replaced/fixed under warranty.
Rear windows' seals came loose. Dealer re-glued, but they came loose again and again. Dealer would not resolve the source of the problem.
Rear suspension is very noisy. Squeaks anytime I go over speed bumps or whenever the car moves over any uneven road surface. Dealer mis-diagnosed the problem. Said that a shock was leaking. Replaced shocks and springs. Shock was not leaking. Still very noisy.
