The door ajar sensor is malfunctioning. The door is clearly shut, but the door ajar light shows on dash board along with the interior lights staying on. The main concern is when the door ajar light / sensor is malfunctioning, the door will not automatically lock. Even if you push the door lock button, the doors will not lock. This is a major safety issue, because children can open the door or a stranger can hop in…

Since this incident, the turn signals…

Driver side rear blinker has been replaced every 4-6 months. Socket is completely melted. Bulbs are melted. Black is all around socket. This is unacceptable and i will not pay the dealership an arm and leg just to keep me safe (car fire). One person said they were charged 98 dollars. That's absurd. There should be a recall and this should be replaced with no expense to the customer. *tr

Both rear brake light sockets have burned and charred. Plastic is melted. Bulbs burn out repeatedly. Found other complaints online and found the best solution was a certain bulb that had more glass at the base and it was rated for a higher voltage. That company has now discontinued that bulb as of june 2014 so now i am unsure if it will eventually catch on fire. I noticed the problem several years ago. The bulbs…
