The cigarette lighter pop's out when it done to were I can't find it, it has burnt several items in my tray, and floor. Also the gas pedal stick's when you push down on it to give a verbal acceleration to get around someone etc. The air in the tire's are always going down. The oil says it low everytime I look at it once every two weeks. The belt on the ac keep losing and now it needs replaced because it now has freezed up on me. The radio at 12:00 am and pm reads 00. Then the minutes only displaced. There's a rattle under the car, don't know what that is" when I put the 4X4 on it has a hard time going back into the regular gear. So really just needed to see if there were recalls on theses problem's"
