Consumer Description

TWO REPAIRS IN ONE WEEK, ALTERNATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED,DASH LIGHTS STARTED COMING ON & GUAGES GOING CRAZY! CAR WOULDN'T START AFTER BEING PARKED FOR 1 HR, THEN WHEN JUMP STARTED IT, DIED AGAIN IN FEW MINUTES, REPLACED ALTERNATOR, BATTERY, THEN NEXT DAY IGNITION FAILED, KEY WOULDN'T TURN IN IGNITION, HAD TO BE TOWED TO MY MECHANIC (THIS WAS THE THIRD (3RD) TIME THE IGNITION SWITCH LOCKED UP LIKE THIS AND THE KEY WOULDN'T TURN & THE CAR WOULD NOT START & ENTIRE IGNITION ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED, 2X EARLIER IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY...THIS TIME IT COST ME OVER $400.00 (THE PART ALONE COST $289.) I AM SO FRUSTRATED W/ THIS PROBLEM, AS DEALERSHIP REPAIRED IT THE FIRST 2 TIMES & THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND IT. THIS IS THE SECOND BATTERY I'VE HAD TO PURCHASE SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW IN JANUARY 2000. *AK
