Consumer Description

WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A BUY BACK, BUT THEY ASSURED ME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. ONE PERSON TOLD ME IT WAS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND ANOTHER TOLD ME IT WAS WATER DAMAGE. STARTING THE SECOND DAY I RECEIVED THE CAR I HAD PROBLEMS. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES FOR SPEAKER PROBLEMS, WHENEVER IT RAINS THE SPEAKERS BLOW OUT. IT WAS IN THE SHOP 2 TIMES BECAUSE OF WHAT SEEMED TO BE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THE CAR HAD A HARD TIME SHIFTING INTO FIRST GEAR AND MADE A SQUEALING NOISE WHENEVER I SHIFTED IT. IT HAS ALSO BEEN IN THE SHOP 2 TIMES FOR THE BRAKES. FOR THE PAST 2 MONTHS IT HAS HAD A HARD TIME STARTING UP AND 2 WEEKS AGO IT WAS DEAD IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR 3 DAYS. THEY HAVE TRIED TO FIX THE PROBLEMS WITHOUT SUCCESS. I AM CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH ARBITRATIO, BUT I WANT SOME ADVICE.
