Consumer Description

THE HANDLE TO THE HATCH BROKE OFF SO MANY TIMES AFTER PROPERLY BEING REPAIRED WE INSTALLED A STRAP HANDLE TO THE HATCH SO THAT WE ONLY NEED TO TOUCH THE BUTTON AND PULL THE STRAP. THE DAMAGED HANDLE WOULD PREVENT THE HATCH FROM SHUTTING PROPERLY. THE REAR TAIL LIGHTS WILL SUDDENLY BLOW FUSES AND MECHANICS CAN NOT FIND OUT WHY. THIS LEAVES YOU SUDDENLY WITH NO TAIL LIGHTS WHICH HAVE RESULTED IN BEING PULLED OVER MANY TIMES AND A FEW TICKETS. I HAVE TAKEN TO KEEPING THE REPAIR TICKET WITH ME TO AVOID TICKETS AT DAWN AND DUSK. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT AND CAN NOT SEEM TO FIND WHY THE FUSE IS BLOWING. THIS BEGAN HAPPENING BEFORE THE WARRANTY RAN OUT HAD FIXED MANY TIMES. LAST TIME IT OCCURRED WAS 2 MONTHS AGO.
