| Dt: the contact stated the vehicle had many different problems and safety defects. the first problem started just seven days after purchasing the vehicle. while pressing on the brakes they sounded like they were falling apart. the next problem concerned the engine. at times there was noise and the vehicle shook very badly. also, the vehicle lurched forward without warning. the third problem involved the electrical system. when the vehicle was started the radio made a cracking sound, and the power door locks worked intermittently. the interior lights flashed/turned off and on. due to the lack of illumination, and the instrument cluster was very hard to see. when the power windows were rolled up one can hear a buzzing sound .while parked in a parking lot the keyless entry opened another vehicle that was 30 feet. away. also, the smells of raw gas fumes were coming from inside of the vehicle. the dealership inspected the vehicle, and found the firewall shield screws were loose. the manufacturer has been contacted, and was currently in arbitration. *ak | |||
