THE ELECTRICAL WORK ON THE CAR IS IN TERRIBLE CONDITION. I PURCHASED THE CAR WITHOUT NOTICING A FAILURE IN THE REVERSE LIGHTING. THE REVERSE LIGHTS FAILED TO WORK THEREFORE SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR IN GREENVILLE MY DAUGHTER COMMUTED FROM GREENSBORO TO GREENVILLE 3 TIMES TO HAVE THE PROBLEM CORRECTED. NEXT THE SYSTEM FAILED AGAIN AND WITH THE SAME REVERSE LIGHTING PROBLEM. I RETURNED TO CAR TO THE DEALER AND THE SYSTEM WAS CORRECTED, HOWEVER THE PANEL LIGHTS FAILED AND I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM UP UNTIL THIS POINT.

WHENEVER VEHICLE WAS STARTED, INTERIOR AND INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS CAME ON & REMAINED ON . TURN SIGNAL WOULD CONSTANTLY BE RINGING WHEN SIGNAL SWITCH WAS NOT IN USE. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP & INFORMED MECHANIC OF THE PROBLEMS. MECHANIC INDICATED "HAS NOT HEARD OF THE PROBLEM BEFORE," AND DID NOT DO ANYTHING. *AK

WE HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR SINCE WE BOUGHT IT. FIRST IT WAS THE DRIVESHAFT WHILE WE WERE TRAVELING THEN IT WAS THE PAINT STARTING TO CRACK, THEN IT WAS THE POWER STEERING GOING OUT WHEN IT WAS RAINING. DEALERSHIP HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS WRONG. JUST FOUND OUT WHEN MY HUSBAND TOOK A/C SWITCH OUT THAT IT WAS BURNED. CALLED DEALERSHIP WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENNED EVEN THOUGH WE STILL HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND WANTED MONEY OUT OF US. WE COULDN'T AFFORD IT. PLEASE SEE IF ANY OF THESE ARE DEFECTS TO WHERE A DEALER IN WEST PALM BEACH CAN CORRECT THE PROBLEM AT NO COST. OUR WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AT 60,000 MILES. CAR STILL VIBRATES AND WE HAVE NO A/C AND IT IS HOT HERE IN FLORIDA. WE WOULD ALSO LIKE TO GET THE PAINT TAKEN CARE OF US THEY KNEW ABOUT IT FROM THE BEGINNING...
