Consumer Description

I TRIED STARTING MY CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START. FIGURED IT WAS A DEAD BATTERY SO I BOUGHT A NEW ONE AND HAD IT REPLACED. THE CAR WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT 3 DAYS THEN HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS BEFORE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER, HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THEM, AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE CONNECTIONS FROM THE BATTERY TO THE ENGINE THAT WERE LOOSE AND CAUSING THE CAR TO NOT START. I PICKED UP MY CAR THE NEXT DAY AFTER PAYING $120 TO HAVE THE PROBLEM (WIGGLING SOME WIRES) FIXED. 2 DAYS LATER...SAME PROBLEM. IT HAS BEEN SITTING NOW FOR OVER 2 WEEKS BECAUSE I HAVEN'T HAD TIME TO KEEP GETTING IT TO AND FROM THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER READING ALL OF THESE OTHER REPORTED PROBLEMS I AM NOW TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IT EVER AGAIN. *TR
