Consumer Description

2 MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. ONE IS A BRAKE ISSUE AND ONE IS TRANSMISSION ISSUE I DO HAVE APPROXIMATELY 160K ON THE CAR NOW. THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE GOES BACK TO WHEN THE CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 40 TO 50 K ON IT AND WAS TAKEN TO DEALER BECAUSE OF SEVERE BANGING FROM ONE GEAR TO ANOTHER.. PERIODICALLY IT HAS DONE THIS SINCE THEN..DEALER COULD NOT GET IT TO DO IT.. AND SAID IT COULD BE NORMAL.. CAR IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND NOW NEEDS TRANSMISSION..BRAKES HAVE DONE WIERD THINGS. ONCE NEEDED TOWING BECAUSE OF ZERO BRAKES, FULL HARD PEDAL, NO BRAKE LIGHT ON OR ANY KIND OF WARNING..LUCKILY I WAS IN A SLOW DRIVE THRU.. TOWED AND PARKED CAR..2 DAYS LATER ..EVERYTHING IS GOOD..BIZARR AT THE LEAST IF NOT ABSOLUTELY DANGEROUS.
