Consumer Description
I HAVE COMPLAINED SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THESE ISSUES WITH THIS STUPID CAR, AND ITS CRAZY THAT IM STILL PAYING FOR IT!!! THE CAR WAS PURCHASED BRAND SPANKING NEW AND I'VE BEEN HAVING THE SAME [XXX] ISSUES SINCE DAY ONE. WHEN I PUT THE KEY FOB IN THE STARTER SWITCH THE CAR GOES DEAD. THE ONLY WAY THE FREAKING CAR WILL START IS BY TRY TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. IF THAT DOESN'T WORK THEN I MOVE THE BATTERY AROUND UNTIL I HEAR A CLICK FOR A CONNECTION. IF THESE DON'T WORK I DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE ON THE BATTERY. EVENTUALLY THE CAR WILL START AFTER SPENDING AN HOUR OR SO TRYING TO GET IT STARTED. IM DISABLED AND TRULY HAVE AN EXTREMELY HARD TIME WITH THIS CAR. THIS ENTIRE CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED!!! THE OTHER ISSUE IS THAT THE ALARM DOESN'T WORK. ONCE THE ALARM GOES OFF, THE KEY FOB WILL NOT OPEN THE CAR AND WILL NOT TURN THE ALARM OFF. ALSO THE "KEY WITHIN THE FOB" DOESN'T OPEN THE CAR DOOR WHEN THE ALARM IS ON. ALL I CAN ASK IS THAT YOU HELP ALL OF US WHO ARE HAVING THESE CRAZY ISSUES!!! DO SOMETHING [XXX]!!! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
