Consumer Description

I'VE HAD THE CAR FOR 2 YEARS. SINCE I'VE HAD IT, IT WOULD RANDOMLY NOT START, THE HEAT WOULD ONLY WORK IN THE BACK VENTS. GOT EVERYTHING FIXED ASSOCIATED WITH STARTER, BATTERY, EVERYTHING. FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS, MY ENGINE LIKE HAS BEEN ON, AND AN ESP LIGHT. I GOT THE ENGINE CHECKED, BRAKES FIXED, ROUTERS, BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH REPLACED AND IT'S STILL DOING THE EXACT THING. GEAR WON'T SHIFT SOMETIMES BUT IT ISN'T THE TRANSMISSION.NOW THEY ARE SAYING POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL ISSUE BUT THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS! AFTER I'VE PUT MORE THAN 1000 INTO EVERYTHING THAT HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE.
