Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)I HAD PROBLEMS EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR, WHICH WAS IN EXCHANGE FOR A TRADE-IN. THIS CAR WAS $200 EXTA DOLLARS WORTH OF PROBLEMS THAT I NEVER GOT RESOLVED. I BOUGHT INTO A GREAT DEAL OF FRUSTRATIONS AND HEADACHES OVER A SIMPLE RESOLVE. THEY SAW ME COMING. THROUGH BRINGING AND LEAVING MY CAR FOR DAYS AT THE CAR LOT TO BE FIXED PROPERLY, AND GETTING SWINDLED OUT OF MY MONEY TO HAVING THE PEOPLE AT THE CAR LOT BRING IT TO THEIR MECHANICS, WHO LED ME TO THINK THAT MY CAR WAS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE FIXED, MY FRUSTRATIONS AND ANGER HAD REACHED A BOILING POINT. THE PROBLEM WAS THE ENGINE, WHEN IT GOT TOO HOT THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD WAVER UP AND DOWN, THREATENING TO SHUT THE CAR OFF. THIS CREATED A SAFETY PROBLEM, AND OF COURSE, I RECEIVED TWO REJECTION STICKERS FOR THIS PROBLEM, WHICH WAS THE EMISSIONS. THE SECOND TIME WAS I THOUGHT THE PEOPLE AT THE CAR LOT WOULD FIX UP; SO I BROUGHT IT BACK TO BE INSPECTED AGAIN, PAYING $60.00 FOR IT. *NM
THE CAR WAS PARKED THE OWNER WENT TO START THE CAR AND THE CAR BACKFIRED AND FIRE STARTED. TT
