FIRST, THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN THE MIDDLE OF MY CAR. IMMEDIATELY AFTER BUYING THE CAR THE PAINT ON BUTTONS ON THE CD PLAYER/RADIO STARTED PEELING OFF. THE PROBLEM HAS WORSENED OVER TIME. LASTLY, THE LATCH ON THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE BROKE OFF AND THE SEAT IS NOW STUCK IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION AND CANNOT BE LAID BACK. PAINT IS PEELING OFF ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CAR ON THE OUTSIDE AT THE TOP FROM INTERSTATE DRIVING.*AK

DT: THE CONSUMER STATED HE BOUGHT A CAR ON 6-29-05 FROM KLICK LEWIS INC. ON HIS WAY HOME WHEN HE APPLIED THE BRAKES, SUDDENLY THE CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS COMING APART. HE CALLED THE DEALER WHERE HE BOUGHT THE CAR AND THEY TOLD HIM THE VEHICLE NEEDED FRONT ROTORS. ON FRIDAY 7-15-05; BEFORE HE HAD TAKEN IT IN TO HAVE THE ROTORS PUT ON, HE NOTICED THE CAR WAS FULL OF SMOKE. HE CALLED THE FIRE DEPT. AND THEY CAME OUT AND DIFFUSED THE FIRE AND TOLD HIM THAT IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND THE CAR COULD HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE. HE THEN CALLED THE SALESPERSON THAT SOLD HIM THE CAR AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE SOMEONE GET BACK TO HIM. HE HAS MADE 5 TELEPHONE CALLS TO THEM AND NO ONE HAS RETURNED HIS CALLS. *JB
