Consumer Description

FROM THE FIRST DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR, THERE WAS A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL IN IDLE. WHEN I INQUIRED ABOUT IT, THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL BECAUSE I HAVE 24 OHV ENGINE. I HAD A 1999 TAURUS AND I DIDNT HAVE THE VIBRATION. I ASKED FOR ANOTHER CAR AND THEY SAID I COULD ONLY BUY ANOTHER ONE NOT "JUST GET ANOTHER ONE". I THINK THIS IS A LEMON. *LA
