Electrical System · at 75,250 miles · reported Sep 27, 2020

The driver door window / lock control module will not learn or retain the connections to the other doors. While the car is shut down the control module works as if it is in normal mode and can control all the windows. The 4 door locking does not work while the car is running but works while it is shut down. I brought it to the dealer and even with the replacement of the door module doesn't work. This issue started with a ground in the passenger seat heater system which drew down the battery significantly.

Service Brakes · at 52,500 miles · reported Jul 2, 2016

Vehicle may creep while brakes are applied when stopped. Normal braking pressure is applied to stop vehicle. Vehicle stops ok. After a few second, the vehicle may begin to creep forward as if the hydraulic brake booster is no longer applying the correct pressure to hold the vehicle, requiring additional light pressure to stop the vehicle. Problem is more noticeable if an accessory such as the A/C compressor turns on and causes the engine idle speed to increase very slightly.
