My first complaint would be about the paint. My car has been peeling for the past 2 years now, it bubbles then peels and gets bigger and bigger every day. It is now peeling in 6 spots, the largest is the size of a watermelon. Very unhappy!!!! Second, the brakes are horrible, the squealing of metal on metal has been occurring since day 1 of getting my car. I was recently driving on a major highway and my steering wheel began shaking like crazy. I pulled over and everything seemed fine.
Plastic headlight lens became foggy after 3 years of service. Included cracking and glazing. Result was reduced light intensity available for night driving. Headlamp assemblies required replacement to regain ability to operate safely at night. *nlm
