Consumer Description

1. BOTH BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OUT W/IN MONTH OF EACH OTHER. IN THE MONTHS OF JULY AND AUGUST. 2. BRAKES NOISY, SEPTEMBER 3. TRUNK WOULD NOT OPEN, OCTOBER 4. BRAKES NOISY, AGAIN, NOVEMBER 5. CAR TURNS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AFTER MAKING A COMPLETE STOP AND TRYING TO SPEED UP. FREAKING OUT, I PRESSED THE GAS AND MOVED THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, THEN PUT CAR IN PARK AND GOT IT TO START, NOVEMBER. IT JUST SEEMS TO ME THAT I HAVE A DISFUNCTIONAL CAR THAT WHEN I DONT HAVE SOMETHING WRONG WITH ONE THING I HAVE TO GO IN TO THE DEALER FOR ANOTHER. ITS A NEW CAR AND ITS COSTING ME MORE PROBLMES AND INCONVINIENCES THAN THE OLD '96 I HAD TILL I BOUGHT THIS ONE.
