What owners wrote
The on-board computer indicates that the "drivers door is ajar". The sign does not go out when the door is opened and closed again. When door locks are depressed, they pop up again and the doors will not lock at all. The only operable setting of the heater blower motor is high fan/ the headlight assembly ballast is defective and the lowbeam setting is dim. It cannot be repaired by replacing the lamp.
Blend door actuator is broken. This causes a serious visibility hazard do to fog on the windows that could lead to personal injury.
