| 2006 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | WHEN I FIRST BROUGHT THE CAR ON 1/30/2006, IT STARTED GIVING ME PROBLEMS,SUCH AS NOT STARTING UP, THE ENGINE LIGHT ON AND OFF ALL THE TIME. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT ON CONSTANTLY. THE POWER WINDOWS ROLLING UP AND DOWN BY THEMSELVES. THE POWER LOCKS STOP WORKING AND THEN WORK OVER AND OVER AGAIN. WHEN I'M DRIVING, THE CAR JERKS AND PULLS ALL THE TIME. (THE PULLING IS COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION). I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF TWO AND I FEEL REAL BAD ABOUT GETTING STUCK WITH A LEMON. AFTER I GET OUT OF SCHOOL I TAKE CLASSES AT NIGHT AND MY KIDS GO TO THE DAYCARE ON CAMPUS WHEN I PICKED THEM UP AFTER CLASS, GOT IN THE CAR, STARTED IT UP, AND THE FRONT TWO WINDOWS ROLLED DOWN BY THEMSELVES, AND WOULD NOT ROLL UP AND IT WAS SNOWING AND WE HAD TO RIDE ALL THE WAY HOME LIKE THAT. THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T CARE. AS FAR AS THEY ARE CONCERNED, IT IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. IT IS A MESSED UP WORLD WE LIVE IN WHERE SOMEONE KNOWS THAT YOU REALLY NEED A CAR AND THEY SCREW YOU WITH A LEMON. UNTIL THIS PRESENT DAY, ALL THESE PROBLEMS DESCRIBED STILL EXIST BUT SO DO ME AND MY SON-3 AND MY DAUGHTER-6 IF ANYBODY CAN HELP, IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU. *JB |
