MY CAR'S SPOILER MALFUNCTIONED THE FIRST DAY; IT WOULD JAM IN THE UP POSITION. MY WINDSHIELD SPRAYER WOULDN'T WORK EITHER. THE CLOCK ADVANCES ON ITS OWN BY APPROXIMATELY 2 MIN EACH DAY. ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS EXISTED FROM DAY ONE, AS I DROVE OFF OF THE DEALERS LOT. FIRST TWO PROBLEMS WERE FIXED WITH A LOT OF AGONY. MY CLOCK HASN'T BEEN FIXED. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE "CODE" EACH TIME. I'M READY TO RETURN THE CAR. *NM
