What owners wrote
The keyless remote does not work unless they take out a fuse because of a short in the electrical system - that particular fuse controled the lights in the vanity mirrow - they said they have to order a part to fix it - and that all 2004 models have this problem. Also the passenger side back door does not open from the inside! Maybe due to the same problem - waiting to hear from dealership.
TSB switch on my car went crazy wouldn't allow me to drive car I would like someone to check out at no cost to me a mechanic got it going said he had to reset computer in the car.
