Consumer Description

THIS CAR HAS HAD VARIOUS DEFECTS IN THE 8 MONTHS THAT I HAVE OWNED IT. I HAVE HAD THE REAR WIPER ARM AND WINDSHIELD FLUID RECEPTACLE REPLACED. NEXT THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING BRAKE FLUID. THIS RESULTED IN THE REPLACEMENT OF THE MASTER CYLINDER. NEXT THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AT 40 MPH RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC NOT ONCE, BUT THREE TIMES. I FEEL THIS SUV IS NOT DEPENDABLE OR SAFE TO DRIVE. I AM SCHEDULED TO TAKE A VACATION AND DRIVE FROM WISCONSIN TO ARKANSAS IN THE AUGUST HEAT, BUT I AM HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS. I WOULD LIKE TO GET RID OF THIS VEHICLE. IT IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.
