Since 07/2017 i have been having problems with the anti -theft-code. dealership wants me to pay for a code update. no~ i feel this is a recall problem. the service center has done the recalls it required and right after these recalls i have this problem where i have to boost the car in order to turn it on. everyday now. i work at night therefore its unsafe for a single woman to be stranded 5 days a week.
Trunk no longer opens. came with trunk release button on fob, by stearing wheel and by trunk on outside, and none of these buttons actually do what they are suppose to do. it is attempting to release somehow because you can hear the trunk when any of these button are pushes, but no actual movement. huge trunk, and no way to utilize.
Passenger side window no longer operates.it is stuck in the up position, thankfully. but it does no go down, although it is trying, the noise the motor makes whem first engaged is still there in an attempt to do its job. does not go down by passenger button, does not go down by driver side button, both buttons and no it is not on lock position. safety issue yes in case there is an accident or something obstructing your door and only way to escape is through window...that wont go down.
