Specific monitor lights remain on even after being checked and cleared. An asterisk type icon shows up next to the prnd panel and slows down vehicle where as you need to put much pressure on gas pedal to get it to move slightly,pulling over and shutting off engine for 2 mins removes the icon and issue, but mostly these are unpredictable occurrences.The body of car icon lights stay on indicating the cars back lights are not working, even after fixing lights. The car's recall #14v428 ; passenger side front airbag has not been fixed as of yet. Currently all windows are jammed the motor hums but windows do not open unless pushed on, 3 of 4 don't even do that..
