EXTERIOR LIGHTING
PASSENGER SIDE FRONT LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT DOES NOT STAY ON. GOING OVER A BUMP DURING DRIVING KNOCKS THE LIGHT OFF AND SHUTTING THE HOOD OR TAPPING ON THE HEADLAMP MAY TURN IT BACK ON. DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AS BOTH LIGHTS MAY GO OUT. WAS INFORMED THAT THE WIRING CONNECTOR INSIDE THE LAMP CASE COULD MELT FROM THE HEAT OF THE LIGHT BULB.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
THE POWER STEERING WARNING AND SERVICE ESC LIGHTS COME ON AND IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING, IT IS A VERY CONCERNING ISSUE. IT STARTED WITH THE STEERING WHEEL ALMOST LOCKED, ESP WHEN USING THE AUTOSTART. WE WOULD HAVE TO TURN IT OFF AND THEN USE THE KEY TO TURN BACK ON. SOMETIMES THIS WOULD ALLOW US TO DRIVE IT FOR A SHORT TIME, OTHER TIMES IT WOULD STAY LOCKED. THE MOST SCARY PART IS IT LOCKING UP WHILE DRIVING. MY 18 YEAR OLD DRIVES THIS CAR AND I AM CONCERNED FOR HIS SAFETY.

IT HAS ALSO LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 45MPH WHICH MADE IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN.

STEERING
I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAR DINGS AND I LOOSE POWER STEERING. AFTER RESEARCHING I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL DUE TO THIS HAPPENING. WHEN WE BOUGHT THIS CAR, THE DEALER NEVER MENTIONED ABOUT ANY ISSUES. (LEMON LAW?) THE CAR HAS 134000 MILES AND I THINK THIS ISSUE SHOULD NOT BE MY PROBLEM SINCE THIS SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM BUT IT SEEMS THAT I WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDED REPLACING WITH LESS THAN 125, 000 MILES ON ENGINE. COULD NOT AFFORD TO REPLACE SO COULD NOT GET STATE INSPECTION TO PASS. HAS BEEN SITTING AND NOT DRIVEN SINCE MARCH 2019. BETWEEN DEC 2018 AND MARCH 2019, BOTH FRONT AND REAR BRAKES FAILED. CAR DRIVER'S DOOR AND CONVERTIBLE TOP STOPPED WORKING. NEEDS APPROX. $3000 TO FIX WHICH I DON'T HAVE BUT STILL PAYING $261./ MONTHLY PAYMENTS AND CANNOT DRIVE. FINANCE COMPANY SAYS THEY WILL NOT LET ME DO VOLUNTARY REPO. I AM RETIRED ON FIXED INCOME. ANY ADVICE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. CANNOT EVEN SELL BECAUSE I OWE $7000 ON IT AND NOT WORTH HALF THAT. WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH A CAR THAT ONLY SITS IN DRIVEWAY?
