Consumer Description

SEVERAL TIMES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE BY TURNING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION THE VEHICLE GOES THROUGH THE PROCESS BUT DOESN'T START. IT WILL MAKE A "WINDING" NOISE. IT WILL TAKE 2-3 ATTEMPTS TO GET THE VEHICLE STARTED. THIS HAS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 30-40 TIMES SINCE 2009. DURING THIS SAME PERIOD WHILE DRIVING THE BEEP ALARM INSIDE THE CAR BEGINS GOING OFF CAUSE IT READS THAT SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT WITHOUT A SEAT BELT. EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED THE SEAT WAS EMPTY. IN ADDITION, WHEN A PERSON HAS BEEN SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND VACATES THE SEAT THE SEAT OR SENSOR STILL REGISTERS A PERSON THERE WITHOUT A SEAT BELT. DURING THE SAME TIME PERIOD I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHTS AND FRONT DRIVER SIDE ABOUT 6-8 TIMES. I HAD THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE MAKER LIGHT REPLACED AND IT WAS NOTICED THAT IT WAS COMPLETELY CORRODED. I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE BACK BRAKE LIGHTS 6-8 TIMES. LASTLY, THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEGUN STALLING BOTH AT INITIAL ACCELERATION AND WHEN DRIVING ABOVE 35MPH THE VEHICLES SUDDENLY LOSES ITS GEAR AND BEGINS TO SLOW DOWN IN TRAFFIC. THIS VEHICLE HAS MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. TO ADD, I HAVE SPOKE TO 4-5 OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE EXACT SAME AND ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS WITH EITHER THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL OR THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE JUST A YEAR DIFFERENT. *TR
