While in motion, consumer discovered that there were no signal lights. A fuse had blown. This has been an ongoing problem for consumer and this vehicle. The signal light fuse blows without any indication or warning.

Sliding door would not close automatically. Door would not latch. Buzzer would sound and door would come open, even while driving. Vehicle was taken in twice under recalls. Once under recall 01 V 224 000 for sliding door and second time under recall 01 V 067 000. Neither recall corrected the problem.. consumer also stated the left turn signal was inoperative, the dealer replaced the turn signal bulb, also there was a rattle noise when vehicle was in idle, dealer replaced the belt tensioner.

When headlights are turned on at night tail lights do not function. In daytime when headlights are not in use, tail lights will function. This is due to rain getting in tail lights and causing a wiring shortage. Consumer states when lights are on, the light at the top of the hutch work, but the tail lights, brake lights, flashers and reverse lights don't work, the radio flashes and the left and right flash light on the dashboard stay on, consumer took vehicle into repair shop and it was determined that the entire harness system was burned out and needed replacement, consumer also stated fuel guage not reading correctly, also ABS light and brake light coming on at times.
