| 2007 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | I BOUGHT MY CAR NEW, EVERY SINCE I HAVE HAD IT THEY HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM. FIRST THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DIDN'T WORK SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME PLACE I BOUGHT IT FROM WHICH IS A HOUR DRIVE ONE WAY & THEY SAID THEY REPLACED IT. NEXT THE DOORS STARTED LEAKING AIR SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME PLACE THEY TOOK ALL DAY BUT SUPPOSE TO HAVE FIXED THAT PROBLEM. NOW THE RUBBER SEALS ON BOTH BACK DOORS KEEPS FALLING OFF FINALLY FIXED THEM. TOTAL UPSET BECAUSE THEY FIXED ONE THING AND MESSED ANOTHER UP. I START TAKING MY CAR TO RAMEYS, WERE THEY FIX THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WHICH THE OTHER PLACE WAS SUPPOSE TO FIX. AT LESS THAN 35,000MILES THE ROTOR HAD TO BE TURNED. I TAKE IT FOR A OIL CHANGE EXPLAIN THAT THE SPEED AND TACK HAND MOVES ON IT OWN YOU WHEN THE ENGINE IS CUT OFF & THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T SEE IT DO ANYTHING.I TAKE IT BACK TO THE RAMEYS FOR THE NEXT OIL CHANGE AND AT THIS TIME THE RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED ON THE STEERING & I TOLD THEM THAT SOMETIMES ITS DIFFICULT TO STEER & AGAIN THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG WELL AS TIME HAS GONE BY IT IS GETTING WORSE. NOW THE DOORS ARE ALL STICKING. I GOT OUT OF MY VEHICLE & NOTICED MY LIGHT WERE STILL ON, THEY NEVER TURNED OFF UNTIL I TWISTED THE NOB THAT WORKED FOR A LITTLE BIT THEN IT GOT TO WERE THEY WOULDN'T EVEN GO OFF IF YOU TWISTED THE NOB SO MY HUSBAND TOOK OUT THE FUSE OUT NOW I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING BUT BRIGHT LIGHTS. A FEW WEEKS LATER THE SIGNAL LIGHTS STOP MAKE A SOUND I THOUGHT THAT MY BULB WAS BLOWN SO I CHECKED THEM ALL & THEY ALL WORKED BUT THE ODD THING IS SOMETIMES WHEN I AM DRIVING THEY WILL MAKE THE SOUND. AFTER GOING TO RAMEYS& GETTING THE ANSWER NOTHING WRONG, I TOOK IT TO A PRIVATE GARAGE WERE HE THOUGHT IT WAS THE SWITCH ITSELF, HE INSTALLED A NEW ONE & THAT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM IS BOARD IN THE FUSE BOX .THE SPEAKER ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DON'T WORK EITHER & THE TRUNK SLAMS DOWN WHEN YOU LET GO OF THE TRUNK DOOR. *TR |
