Both the drivers and passengeers automatic windows have broken. The middle console is broken. The hooks for the back seat do not latch the seat and the seat flies forward during braking (a distracting hazzard). The engine makes a ticking noise. The engine seems to get too hot. The engine seems to smell of oil even after short trips. The belts make loud noise when the vehicle is just starting - I just had the vehicle in the station and the service man said he did not find anything wrong with the vehicle.
