The door lock : latches fails in freezing weather. All the door latches are frozen. Doors will sometimes open, but then the door will not shut.

Driver's side mirror becomes loose and a loud whistling sound is made when driving over 30 miles per hour. This is a manufacturer defect as it just started happening a couple of weeks after purchasing the car as a certified used vehicle. The dealer told me the warranty would not cover it. The door panel would have to be removed and a new mirror installed with no guarantee that it would not do it after replacement.

Fuel filler door opens intermittently. Not good when attempting to fill car with gas, and the door won't open. There is no manual release for this, and you would have to break parts to get to the fuel filler cap.

With no warning car would not brake. Brake was stiff and would not go down, emergency brake had to be used which could of caused the car to spin out. This car was serviced for the matter at hand. This situation should never had happened it was hazardous, life threating, and a total safety fail. My family and I were at risk because of this!
