Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE 5 TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE, IT WOULD NOT START. THE FIRST 3 TIMES A SENSOR SWITCH WAS REPLACED. THE FOURTH TIME I WAS TOLD MY BATTERY WAS THE ISSUE SO I GOT A NEW BATTERY. TODAY WAS THE FIFTH TIME AND THE SERVICE DEPT INDICATED THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT THEY WENT AHEAD AND REPLACED THE SENSOR SWITCH AGAIN. I AM NOT HAPPY, I FEEL THAT I CANNOT DEPEND ON MY VEHICLE. I AM PLANNING AN OUT OF TOWN TRIP FOR THANKSGIVING AND HAVE RESORTED TO RENTING A VEHICLE BECAUSE I AM PARANOID ABOUT BEING STRANDED ON THE ROAD WITH THIS ISSUE. I PAID ALOT OF MONEY FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THIS JUST IS NOT RIGHT. I AM CONSIDERING TRADING IT IN FOR A VEHICLE THAT STARTS THE TRADITIONAL WAY (WITH A KEY). *TR
