Engine complaints
Radiator fan runs constantly, and car overheats. I inspected the car 2 months after purchase and discovered that all fuses regarding the radiator fan were pulled in order to keep it from running constantly. The rear doors do not lock or unlock. The trunk does not unlock either. The airbag warning light is on constantly.
CAYALYTIC CONVERTER FAILED.
