Consumer Description

I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM AN INDEPENDENT DEALER WITH SOMEWHERE AROUND 60K OR 65K MILES IT NOW HAS AROUND 80K MILES AND SINCE THE CAR HAS BEEN PURCHASED IT HAS HAD ONE PROBLEM AFTER THE NEXT. THE ELECTRICAL FOR THE WINDOWS,MIRRORS,DOOR LOCKS,GPS SYSTEM,HEAD LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I RECEIVED A FAULT WARNING THAT THE OUTSIDE RUNNING LIGHTS OR HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. I HAVE NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND TOOK IT TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT WHICH I WAS TOLD OBD CODE READS MISFIRE #2 IGNITION COIL. I HAD THE PARTS REPLACED AND CODES CLEARED AND STILL THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON READING THE SAME FAULT CODE HAD IT CHECKED AGAIN AND WAS TOLD IT IS A NEW PART AND IT HAS BEEN REPLACED AND HE CANNOT FIGURE WHY IT WOULD COME BACK THE SAME THING. THE ONLY EXPLANATION HE HAD FOR ME IS THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM OR THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE OBD COMPUTER. SINCE THEN THE CAR HAS HAD TROUBLE CRANKING, STUTTERS ON TAKE OFF, STALLS AT STOP LIGHTS, I HAVE HAD A LOSS OF POWER IMMEDIATELY WHILE ON GETTING ON THE FREE WAY AND THE CAR SAID REDUCED ENGINE POWER SHUT DOWN AND WOULD NOT LET ME GET OVER SPEEDS OF 20. I HAVE SMELT FUEL WHEN THE AC WAS TURNED ON. HAS BEEN NUMEROUS THINGS ONE AFTER THE OTHER. I WAS LOOKING AT NUMEROUS RECALLS FOR THE ELECTRICAL, THE FUEL PUMP,THE LIGHTS,AND NOW THE AIR BAGS .AND SEAT BELT TENSIONERS. I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT IF THE CAR WAS EVER BROUGHT IN TO BE FIXED FROM THE RECALLS, OR IF THE RECALLS EXPIRE. CAUSE I HAVE NOT OWNED VEHICLE VERY LONG
