Consumer Description

AFTER ONLY 70,000 MILES I HAD TO GET A NEW ENGINE. IT ALSO NEVER WANTED TO START WHEN IT WAS COLD AND WET OUT. THEN JUST YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN SMOKE STARTED TO COME IN THROUGH THE HEAT VENTS. THE ELECTRIC WIRES CAUGHT FIRE UNDER THE HOOD ON PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR NEAR FIREWALL. WENT UP IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. DESTROYED THE CAR.
