Consumer Description

THE REAR WINDSHIELD SUDDENLY SHATERRED WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY! THERE WAS NOTHING THAT HIT THE CAR. THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM AS THE CAR WAS OUT OF THE WARRANTY (MILEAGE). THE SECOND PROBLEM REGARDING THE RADIATOR CLAMP OCCURRED WITHIN 12 HOURS OF MY PURCHASING THE CAR. SUDDENLY FUMES CAME OUT OF THE ENGINE WITH THE 'LOW COOLENT' SIGN. HAD TO TOE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO FIXED IT BY PUTTING A NEW CLAMP ON THE HOSE. THE THIRD COMPLAINT WAS NOTICED WITHIN 2-3 MONTHS OF BUYING THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP FIXED THE PROBLEM BY CHANGING THE MALFUNCTIONING SWITCH. NEVER RECEIVED ANY APOLOGIES FROM THE COMPANY FOR THE MANUFACTURING DEFECTS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS MORE TO COME....
