Faults

Bought a car with expectations but found several issues. Premature wear of support bearings and fragile steering tie rods need attention. Electrical problems: periodic trunk lock failures. Also, unstable tire sensors and rear window defroster. Frequent window motor shorts and slow seat heaters are bothersome. The trunk isn't very convenient. Overall, there are positives, but these faults diminish satisfaction with its use.
