THERE IS A CLUNK/RATTLE/THUMP COMING FROM THE REAR END, THROUGH THE DRIVESHAFT. THE POWER WINDOW ON THE PASSENGER SIDE STICKS WHEN GOING DOWN AND IS SLOW WHEN GOING UP. THE HORN HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE FOR A MOISTURE PROBLEM, NOW IS HAVING SAME PROBLEM: ALSO, THE HORN BUTTON ON STEERING WHEEL DOESN'T WORK 100% OF THE TIME. NEXT, THE OWNER'S MANUAL DOESN'T ADVISE WHEN THE CHANGE REAR AXLE FLUID. LASTLY, THE POWER STEERING PUMP LEAKS FLUID. THE CAP WAS REPLACED ONCE, THEN IT WAS ADJUSTED. I STILL HAVE A PROBLEM WITH POWER STEERING FLUID SPEWING FROM UNDER THE CAP.
