I started experiencing a hot spot in the driver's heated seat in the fall of 2012. i have to put a cushion between my right leg and the seat or it will nearly burn. i have also been having an issue with either the o2 sensor or catalytic converter whenever it rains and it's cool weather. the car will lose power, sputter and lurch until it has been running for a while then it acts normally. finally, for the past two months the rear door locks will not open with the keyless entry or by hitting the lock/unlock button on the door. i just reached the 100k mark and keep up regular maintenance on my car so i'm a little upset that things like this are happening so early. *tr
