“Electrical issues with lights, transmission has various issues after I've spent over $2,000 trying to get it fixed. The sensors go out or start acting up a short time after I've replaced them. The car will shut off and leave you to get hit because it takes seconds to minutes to get started again. Lights go on and off on their own.”
