| When i bought the car a week later it blew hot air, i was told it only needed freon. i found out later that there was a leak and it is $1200. a week after that the car would not start the dealer picked the car up and said that the battery was dead because i left the radio on, it has happened over 30 times, not true there is something wrong. i have replaced tires at least six times. tires completely separate. i was driving and car slowed down on freeway and i was almost hit, i pulled over and it stopped and did it again and i had to push the traction control button, almost cost me my life! it now happens when i hit a bump. when i turn the car makes a extremely loud noise, (embarrassing) i was told it is a ball joint and can catch on fire. engine light has always been on and is now blinking and the car shakes and hesitates. i had to pay to get the brakes fixed 2 months after purchasing. radio turns on for no reason and runs battery down. i was told i have two leaks in my shocks and it is $1800 each. when i back up and turn the steering wheel vibrates. i can't even use the cigarette lighter to charge my cell because it does not work and has been replaced twice. the remote just stop working and i was charged $100 to reconfigure. the brakes act funny, can't even explain it. this car is unreal, a complete piece of junk. i can't even remember half the stuff i have endured and the money i have spent. *nm | |||
