Consumer Description

I HAD TO PURCHASE AN ENTIRELY NEW A.C SYSTEM AT 50K MILES. THEY PUT THE HOSE DIRECTLY ON THE ENGINE WHEN BUILDING THE CAR. THEREFORE, THE HEAT BURNED A HOLE INTO THE HOSE WHICH CAUSED THE SYSTEM TO OVERHEAT, RESULTING IN THE NEED FOR THE ENTIRE A.C. SYSTEM TO BE REPLACED. A MONTH LATER, THE CAR BEGAN STALLING AND MISFIRING WHILE AT STOP LIGHTS. THEN, IT PROGRESSED TO MISFIRING WHILE CAR ACCELERATES. I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF! I WAS LUCKY TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE ROAD AS I HAD MY 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON AND OFF RANDOMLY. APPARENTLY, AT 50K MILES, THE COMPUTER SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS APPARENTLY THE CAUSE FOR THE ISSUES (PER A MECHANIC). I'VE REPLACED THE BATTERY ON THIS CAR 3 TIMES. I'M STILL PAYING THE CAR OFF AND HAVE PUT SO MUCH MONEY INTO IT FROM IT FALLING APART AT 50K MILES!
