Consumer Description

AFTER 4 PREVIOUS REPAIRS I STARTED MY CAR AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ONCE AGAIN BEGAN TO FLASH, THIS TIME FLASHING RAPIDLY. I CALLED THE DEALER WHO TOLD ME NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE THE RAPID FLASH MEANS THE CAR IS UNSAFE. I WAS TOLD I HAD A BAD COIL. AFTER A $400 REPAIR, I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME LIGHT FLASH. THE DEALER THEN TOLD ME MY CATALIYTIC CONVERTERS SPLIT. NOW I HAVE A $4,600 REPAIR JOB ON A 2003. PLEASE CHECK TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR FOR THE PAST YEAR. THANK YOU. *NM
