Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR. FIRST IT WAS THE ROTORS AND BRAKES, THEN ALL THE RECALLS. BRAKES ARE GOING AGAIN, HAD TO GET A NEW BATTERY AFTER ONE YEAR. THEN THE TRANSMISSION WENT. THE FIRST TIME WAS ON 11/16/01 AND I WAS OUT OF STATE. DIDN'T GET A CAR WHILE IT WAS BEING FIXED. HUSBAND HAD TO RENT A CAR. ONLY HAD 24825 MILES. I MISSED THREE DAYS OF WORK BECAUSE OF IT. NOW, IT HASS HAPPENED AGAIN. ON 1/19/02 ON MY WAY TO WORK. I MISSED WORK THAT DAY. OF COURSE IT IS A WEEKEND AND CAN'T GET AHOLD OF ANYBODY. IT HAS ONLY BEEN TWO MONTHS SINCE LAST TIME AND I WAS TOLD IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN, CAUSE THEY HAVE A NEW AND IMPROVED TRANSMISSION. IMAGINE THAT. COULD SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME, I AM SO SICK OF THIS CAR. I NEED A CAR I CAN RELY ON FOR WORK. I HAVE TO GO ON MEETINGS OUTSIDE AND THIS IS KIND OF HARD WITHOUT A VEHICLE. IF I CAN'T WORK I CAN'T PAY MY PAYMENTS NOW CAN I. CYNETTE CHEAL, VA. *AK
