THE VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER TO THE BRAKES WHILE DRIVING INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN PROBLEM OCCURS YOU WILL LOSE POWER STEERING AND PRESSURE TO BRAKING SYSTEM. ALSO THE DRIVER HID HEADLAMP GETS MOISTURE IN IT WHENEVER IT RAINS. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE HID BULB ABOUT 6 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR. ALSO THERE SEEMS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE ONBOARD COMPUTER THAT CAUSES THE TACHOMETER TO NOT WORK OR READ CORRECTLY.
