FIRST WEEK I PURCHASED THE CAR IN TALLAHASSEE I HAD A MAJOR OIL LEAK LOOSE SCREWS AND AND COULDN'T STEER . FIRST WEEK I RAN INTO THE BACK OF A SAFETY POLICE OFFICE WHILE ON CAMPUS AT TALLAHASSEE COMMUNITY COLLEGE WE DID THE INITIAL INSURANCE REPORT BUT SHE CLAIM SHE WASN'T HURT , I COULDN'T STOP AND WHEN I HIT HER REAR END I GOT WHIPLASHED , THIS WAS MY FIRST CAR I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT CARS , THE MAN JUST SOLD I TO ME WITH NO WARNINGS MONTHS LATER START RECEIVING MAIL ABOUT A RECALL I SQUEDULED BUT THEY NEVER CAME AND GOT THE CAR SO YEARS LATER I JUST SOLD IT TO PICK AND PULL CAUSE IT WAS IN OPERABILITY. ON SCHOOL CAMPUS

ENGINE RUNS SLOW AND ACCELARATING MAKES IT SLOWER WINDSHIELD BROKE BY ITSELF WHEN DOING CARWASH

NUMEROUS OIL LEAKS ALL HAPPENING SIMULTANEOUSLY - SOLENOID SEAL, FRONT CRANKSHAFT SEAL, VALVE COVER, TIMING COVER , REAR MAIN SEAL, AND OTHERS UNIDENTIFIED YET -- I CANNOT AFFORD ALL OF THESE REPAIRS

DRIVING HOME FROM LONG WAY IN. LAKE COUNTY ILLINIOS. SHIFT IN GEAR AND JUMP OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING AND POWER N STEERING AND ENGINE SHUT DOWN COULD OF BEEN AN BAD ACCIDENT THEN CAR STUCK IN ONE GEAR AND COMPLETELY WON'T MOVE. AT ALL ESPECIALLY IN WINTER
