SOS light comes on some times whenever it wants

Seat jerks back and forth a little bit. I mean like when i am driving and I stop the seat will almost like slide inch foward than back?

sunroof does'nt close all the way with the key or when you just tap to close.

Opening up and closing windows with key is like hit or miss

I've never had those problems, but I know the sunroof one is a common problem. You need to resynchronize the sunroof, instructions to do so are in your owner's manual.

Everytime my car goes in for routine maintenance they find a transmission leak. First time they had to replace a conductor plug, now they had to replace the o-rings in the radiator. Do you guys have this problem, too?

I had the moonroof problem... take your car in. it needs to be reset. if that doesnt do the trick they will replace the sensor in the moonroof.

Green fluid is normally coolant but your car should have factory coolant which is blue (?) unless it's been replaced. It should at least be orange (for extended life coolant). Does it have the consistency of oil or water?

Transmission fluid is usually a pinkish red in color. Green or orange for coolant. If I remember right the coolant in our cars is orange.

Why haven't you taken it in yet? It's coolant leaking.
