Consumer Description

WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS THINGS REPAIRED OR REPLACED ON THIS CAR. EVERYTHING FROM THE CARPET TO THE RADIO TO WARPED ROTORS. WE ARE CURRENTLY TRYING TO "GET OUT OF" OUR LEASE DUE TO THE NUMBER OF PROBLEMS THAT WE ARE EXPERIENCING. IT'S BECOME QUITE A NUISANCE TO HAVE AND WE ARE DISSAPPOINTED AND EVEN ANGRY AT THE FACT THAT THESE MANY PROBLEMS HAVE GONE UNINVESTIGATED BY THE DEALER THAT WE TAKE IT TO FOR REPAIRS. FORTUNATELY, THERE HAVE BEEN NO SERIOUS MALFUNCTIONS WITH THE CAR CAUSING ACCIDENTS. WE HAVE AN EXTENSIVE LIST OF REPAIRS DONE TO THE CAR STARTING LESS THAN SIX MONTHS FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE. TO DATE, WE HAVE HAD THIS CAR SERVICED FOR REPAIRS ON AVERAGE, ONCE EVERY SIX WEEKS.
