“The paint chipped off my car. Then the engine blew for no apparent reason, then my heater went out, but to start with . When I purchased the car it had a power steering leak which was fixed twice but still leaks. The engine was replaced and the timing belt blew when the deler put in the new timing belt the cruise control went out. They want to fix things that don't relate to the cruise control in the process. I won't let them. I just want the cruise control fixed. I would also like a new paint job.”
