| I have had nothing but problems with my sun roof, brakes, gas, acceleration and over heating of my car. my sun roof about every other month something goes wrong with it every time i open it. my breaks have been replaced about 4 or 5 times because the wear out quick. when i break my tiers skip the car stops but the tiers keep turning. my gas is gone quick and i only drive here in town from work to home to daycare. sometimes when i turn my car on the speedometer moves by its self as if i were pushing the gas peddle and my foots on the break when it does it by its self and it does it when i'm driving. i can drive a block and my car gets really hot and the fan is on right away. i can't stand my care anymore its nothing but problems for a while.*ak | |||

| While driving on the highway at about 50mph accelerator stuck and could not be pulled up or jiggled loose. the engine as a result was revving in the red zone for about a minute while it was decided to put the car into neutral, brake, pull over & turn the car off. the car was stopped a mere 100 yards from a traffic jam due to construction. this could have led t o a fatal accident had nathan not had the presence of mind to do what he did. this car was bought for the safety of my wife and children; luckily they were not in the car when this happened as my wife stated she would not have known to shift into neutral, and would have probably ended up crashing. the shop where the car was taken stated that the cables were frozen and it was due to manufacturers defect. *ak | |||
