Consumer Description

MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT A SHOP BEING LOOKED AT. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BECAUSE I WAS DRIVING IT AND IT STARTED MAKING A KNOCKING SOUND AND DIED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAVE CONSTANT LIGHTING ISSUES WHERE I HAVE TO REPLACE HEADLIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS EVERY MONTH TO 2 MONTHS. LIGHTS ARE VERY DIM ALL THE TIME. IT HAS A CLICKING SOUND THAT NEVER GOES AWAY. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN THIS CAR. I OWE 2 MORE YEARS ON THIS CAR AND I'M AFRAID IT'S NOT GOING TO MAKE IT. I HAVE NO TRANSPORTATION TO WORK NOW AND I MAY BE AT RISK OF LOSING BOTH JOBS I HAVE. I'M SO DISGUSTED IN MY CHOICE OF VEHICLES RIGHT NOW.
