The key fob has not worked for longer than a few days and it was replaced at least three times until we were tired of dealing bringing it back and forth to a dealership so we used the key. The car electronically seems to malfunction and always has. the trunk just stopped opening with the trunk release and the horn would not honk and then randomly I will it honk it and it would work like five times a year ? It might be honking today I'm not sure. It was not a loose connection and it really is dangerous because when people cut you off/ you need to warn somebody about something you cannot honk. My drivers side heater in the seat malfunctioned and quit working shortly after buying it and again randomly every once in a while we're just decide to heat up. I don't think it has worked the last few years at all. The seat on the driver side feels like it's disconnected from the floor a little. I have my car worked on numerous times and it always says service airbag. I take good care of it and get oil changes regularly but to be honest it was kinda a money pit... In fact I just had to get a new engine put in the car and I am at 90,000 miles. Supposedly the catalytic converter became loose broke in half and as I was driving a piece of it flew into the engine and broke some valves and messed the engine up. Because it is almost paid off I decided to put a newer engine in and because I replaced much of the car already. I have had two break jobs and a new transmission. I do like the car it's a pretty good car considering all my luck. Also by my air-conditioner on the dash – the vinyl is peeling away in a small area? My mirrors plastic case broke from the visors. I could understand all of these things happening if I was abusing the car but I don't have kids in the car or animals. I know I was only supposed to talk about one complaint but I don't really have time to issue them one at a time. So overall electronically the keyfab not working, horn not always honking, the chair being disconnected from floor the r leather peeling from the dashboard. The trunk not opening with the trunk release. Visors breaking. Issues with my steering column. The passenger side not heating up. There is a panel on the passenger side that is plastic and falls off repeatedly. My air Bag needing service t all times. And already needing a new engine before I paid the car off well its been a adventure But I know it could be worse so I hope that everybody has a wonderful day and maybe I'm not the only one that dealt with all of these strange issues. Or maybe I'm missing something and there is uses or something electronically that somebody could help me out with? Thanks Kelly
