Consumer Description

THE DATE THAT I PUT DOWN EARLIER, IS THE FIRST TIME THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON 7/29/98, MILEAGE 3,549; AGAIN ON 10/22/98, MILEAGE 8,234; 11/12/99, MILEAGE 27,421; AND AGAIN ON 1/10/00, MILEAGE 31,000. EVERYTIME THIS HAPPENS, MY CAR LOOSES POWER! I AM ON THE HIGHWAY ALL THE TIME AND THIS IS A VERY BIG PROBLEM. ALSO, WHEN THIS HAPPENS MY REAR DEFROSTER DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY AND MY RADIO SOUNDS FUNNY. THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY CANNOT SEEM TO FIX IT. MY WARRENTY WILL BE UP VERY SOON AND I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE CAR IS STARTING AGAIN TO LOOSE POWER, BUT IT WILL RUN LIKE THIS FOR QUITE AWHILE BEFORE THE LIGHT COMES ON! THIS IS VERY OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACUTURER DEFECT AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO TAKE RESPONSBILITY FOR IT!*AK
