DOME LIGHT STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING DAY OR NIGHT. IT IS ILLEGAL TO DRIVE WITH THE LIGHT ON AT NIGHT. THE DOOR AJAR CHIME STICKS AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL SOMETIMES COME ON BY THEMSELVES WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON YOUR WEBSITE. I HAD THIS PROBLEM FIXED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND NOW SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. NO RECALL? COULD BE A SHORT IN THE WIRING.

UPON INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT FUEL TANK FILLER PIPE CRACKED AND WAS CAUSING THE GASOLINE TO LEAK ONTO THE GROUND. DUE TO THE HEAT AND DRYNESS IN THIS AREA IT WOULD CAUSE THE PLASTIC TO CRACK. THE SERVICE DEALER STATED THIS FILLER PIPE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *AK UPDATED 11/15/05. *JB
