Consumer Description

PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS I DID A WEB SEARCH AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS, NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. MY CONCERN IS MY WIFE DRIVES ALONE AND SHE HAS HAD TO BE JUMP STARTED BY STRANGERS SEVERAL TIMES. HERE IS THE ISSUE, WHICH AGAIN IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. THE CAR BATTERY WILL DIE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE ANSWER HAS BEEN TO GET A NEW BATTERY. HOWEVER, IT ONLY SOLVES THE PROBLEM FOR A SHORT WHILE. *TR
