""After a automatic car wash, when I open the rear door I find soap around the wells. Nothing harmful, just irritating.""

""The 12V battery failed on 2/20/25, 3 months after I purchased the car. Since the car was locked, we had to remove a plastic cover to access the lock cylinder. Removing the plastic cover was very difficult. It was then towed to the dealer who replaced the battery and all has been well since then.""
