Consumer Description

I HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY WITHIN A MONTH OF GETTING THE CAR, THEN AGAIN 6 MONTHS LATER. THE RADIO AND BACK UP CAMERA WENT OUT AFTER A YEAR OF HAVING IT. THE HEADLIGHTS KEPT GOING OUT, AND EVENTUALLY THE WIRING STARTED BURNING. BATTERY WENT OUT AGAIN ALONG WITH THE ALTERNATOR NOW. MID DRIVE THE LIGHTS WOULD CUT OFF, SPEED THERMOMETER WOULD BE OFF BY 15, AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE WHEEL.
