Consumer Description

ADDENDUM TO 12/30/13 COMPLAINT: IN ADDITION TO THE PREVIOUSLY OUTLINED PROBLEMS: 1. CAR IS NOW LOOSING OIL. AT 26,500 MILES THE LOW OIL LEVEL LIGHT CAME ON. CHECKED OIL LEVEL AND REVEALED CAR HAD LOST APPROX 1.5-2 QT SINCE LAST REGULARLY SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE. 2. BRAKES SQUEAL WHEN YOU FIRST COMPRESS THE PEDAL. I HAD THE BRAKES INSPECTED AND WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THEM OR THE BRAKE PAD. I DO NOT THINK THIS IS NORMAL TO OCCUR EVERY TIME YOU TOUCH THE BRAKES UNLESS SOMETHING IS WRONG. BRAKES DID NOT START MAKING NOISE UNTIL 25,000 MILES. **NO CONFIDENCE THIS CAR IS TRUSTWORTHY. SERIOUSLY WORRIED ABOUT ITS RELIABILITY/ COST TO REPAIR AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRES.** *TR
