Consumer Description

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. CAR WAS SEEMINGLY WORKING ALRIGHT, HOWEVER, AFTER FUELING UP, IT WAS DIFFICULT TO RESTART THE CAR. IN FACT, AT THE LAST FILL UP I WAS UNABLE TO START THE CAR FOR OVER 20 MINUTES WHILE AT THE GAS PUMP. THIS CAUSED A GREAT DEAL OF ANGER, FRUSTRATION, AND RAGE IN THE OTHER DRIVERS WHO WERE WAITING TO FUEL THEIR CARS AT VERY BUSY GAS STATION NEAR LAX. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THE FUEL SENSORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A TOTAL COST OF $1700.00. TWO MONTHS PRIOR THE AIR CONDITIONER/HEATER REQUIRED REPAIR AS A HOSE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO A LEAK, A $425 REPAIR, FURTHERMORE, THE STEERING PROBLEM WE SEEMINGLY HAD CORRECTED 3 YEARS AGO IS OCCURRING AGAIN AND IS NEED OF ANOTHER REPAIR. AND LASTLY, 50% OF THE TIME WHEN I TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND PULL THE KEY OUT OF THE CAR, THE ENGINE CONTINUES TO RUN. THE OCCURRED AROUND 80-85,000 MILES.
