Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION TWICE SINCE I PURCHASED IT FROM THE DEALER. THE FIRST TIME WAS AT AROUND 45000 MILES, AND THE SECOND WAS AROUND 55000 MILES. I HAVE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURNING ON AND OFF BY THEMSELVES, THE HORN STOPPED WORKING AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT WENT ON. THERE IS A LOUD WIND NOISE UNDER THE CAR WHEN YOU DRIVE OVER 40 MPH. THE VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 29000 MILES WHEN WE PURCHASED IT, AND IT HAS CAUSED US GRIEF EVER SINCE. WE CANNOT TRADE IT IN, AND GET WHAT ITS WORTH, BECAUSE OF THESE AWFUL DEFECTS, NOR DO WE WANT TO PUT OUR CHILDREN IN JEOPARDY. I CANNOT DRIVE OUT OF MY LOCAL AREA BECAUSE I AM AFRAID OF THE VEHICLE BREAKING DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY.*AK
