What owners wrote
I turned on my AC and the temp and fuel guage fuse blowed while having the air on still changing out fuses and the automatic car locks on it own when you closes the doors getting out or it will lock when some one gets out of the car all by itself without hitting the door lock on the keyless entry.
The brakes failed at 13000 miles creating a safety issue for myself and family. They were defective and worn down to nothing, creating an unsafe stopping condition for myself and family. *nlm
