THE CARS ELECTRONIC DASH BOARD COMPLETELY GOES DEAD WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN 3 DEALERSHIPS OVER MORE THAN 1 MONTH, THE DEALERSHIPS CLAIM THEY HAVE REPLACED COMPUTER COMPONENTS, CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, OR 'JIGGLE THE WIRES'. THE CARS WARRANTY IS NEARLY UP, AND WE HAVE BEEN PRESSURED TO BUY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP HAS PROVIDED US WITH A RENTAL CAR, AND CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM, THAT IS WHEN THE CARS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED ON THE FREEWAY. THE CAR IS A COMPLETE HAZARD.
