Instrument cluster failed after car left out in cold. Had to get replacement according to dealer from germany. Took 4-6 weeks to get replaced. Additionally left drivers door lock mechanism failed and would not open the door. The only way into the door was either from passengers side door, or roll down the electric windows. If car left out in cold, windows will not roll down. Lock come unlocked while driving or parked. Dealer said would cost big bucks to replace defective door handle mechanism. I purchased extended warranty but they said not covered. Major safety issues as we are raising my grandchild and she rides in the back seat while these lock mechanisms fail.
Engine check light keep coming on, and now the gauges on the dashboard don't work, including the speed gauge/gas gauge, and all of the electrical components that are operated by the computer. Consumer can't determine the problem.
