Consumer Description

I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW IN 2/ 2009. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE IT INTO THE SHOP FOR REPAIRS OF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRANSMISSION, ULTIMATELY LEADING TO A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT ON 7/17/12. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 14 TIMES FROM 7/24/10 UNTIL THE PRESENT MOST OF WHICH INCLUDED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT/AND OR THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE, STILL TODAY MY CAR IS IN THE SHOP BECAUSE IT WON'T REVERSE.
