2: some time at cold morning (-10C and up) the icon Windows with a ''!'' show up ...

3: some time for no reason the snowflake icon show up with the ''!'' even if im on the highway and the car been rooling for an hours ..

4:the power stering is HARD as HELL in the morning when i stard the car (even if the car been rooling for 10 minute) it stay hard for at least 20 minute

5: sun roof wont open on warm temperature ( +20C and up) it works but it trigger and close back up

6: they change the water pump after 2000K ... it was making a weird noise...

7:evry cold morning (-10C and up) the engine is making a weird noise ... kind of a valve and lifter clacking .... and it make's it for at least 15 minute ....

8:some morning my display (where the KLM gage is ) the radio station show up but evrything else is **** top ! ... chinese symbols ... (when its -20 and up) .......

9: rear wiper broke at 5000 k (in half) .... (cold icy morning ... my fault )

10: some time transmition slipping ... im not sure if its slipping but from a cold start it shift from 1 to 2 at 3000RPM some time at 3500 ( slow start) if i press it down it shift higher that that and its normal ) but at a slow speed .... weird
and its shake some time when i decelerate to fast ... it does like if you pop the clutch on a manual car ... it shake back and foward .... and some time very rarely on the highway ... i shift the 6th gear (on manuel mode) and it stay at 5 on the display but it shift in the transmition and if i decelerate from 6 to 5 it still show 5 .. it doesn move ... hehe
