“The car is falling apart, and I believe that it is due to the manufacturing. I believe that it is of poor quality. And I never received an owners manual for my car, it also has an alarm in it, and the dealer never gave me both remotes for the alarm.I am also having a problem with a leak in my car, and I can't find where it is coming from. The brakes are acting up also, and we can't figure out what is wrong with them.”
