Consumer Description

I PURCHASED MY CAR ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO . I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . I HAD SERVICE DONE ON THE CAR AND I HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE SENSORS. THE LIGHTS KEEP SHORTING OUT . I REPLACE THE BULBS AND IT SHORTS OUT AGAIN . ALSO BRAKE SENSORS KEEP WEARING OUT CAUSING THE BRAKE SENSOR TO KEEP COMING ON . NOW I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE OIL LEVEL SENSOR IT IS SAYING REDUCE OIL LEVEL I HAD THIS DONE AND NO CHANGE . THINKING IT MAY NEED THE OIL CHANGED I TOOK IT IN. SAME NO CHANGE OIL WAS CHANGED AND REDUCE THE OIL LEVEL AS THE CAR STATED AND THERE WAS NO CHANGE STILL . THIS CAR HAS HAD PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM. THAT IS COSTING 500.00 EACH TIME TO HAVE SERVICE AND AMONG OTHER THINGS DONE. *TR
