Headlights flick on/off at different times. On one occssion, headlights flicked off, and the engine shutdown with no warning. Also, owner had a situation where brake pedal descended to the floor with poor braking ability. Jlg
Transmission slips after sitting when first starting out;horn honks occasionally while driving; power sliding door on driver's side won't open/close when activated by button or remote switches; hard starts after driving and sitting briefly (especially after highway driving--tried different gas stations gasses). Taken to two different dealers mostly about transmission and they claim unless the check engine light comes on, they can't do anything about it.
