Faults:
First day the brake line was leaking.
The compass stopped working, the dealer ordered the part and replaced it and told me the clock was still not working. He didn't even know it was not a clock. The second compass works fine.
The wheel bearing on the right side went. The dealer replaced it.
The driver side mirror would not adjust, they said nothing was wrong with it and when I got it back it worked OK. I had a few people try and adjust it and they could not. It would only adjust in two directions.
There was a short in the electrical system. When I put on the left blinker everything blinked. They claimed it was the tow hitch U-haul put in and charged me. The hitch is not hooked up, but the short came back. Now when I step on the brake, all the lights on the dash dim. It's in the shop for that right now.
The left side wheel bearing is gone. It's also in the shop right now for that.
General Comments:
Believe it or not I like this car. I like the ride.
The gas peddle is very sensitive, but I'm used to it. Anyone else driving it has a hard time though.
The gas mileage isn't great, but I didn't expect it to be.
If this car ever gets out of the shop it would be great. I'm going to write the head office to complain.

Oh whatever, drive-by-wire is not THAT different. A bigger safety concern would be if your BRAKES were not working. I don't think that having to adjust to a new car is a particularly dangerous thing. Also, if you do not like how it drives then you should not have bought it.
