Example complaints

“I have had my Rodeo Sport for a little over 2years. My cd player has been acting up for approximately 6 months now. It frequently displays err1. My windshield wipers also stop during intermittent setting and ii have to be sure to turn them off while they are at bottom of windshield or they will stop where they are at the time. I took my car in and was told the cd player needs to be completely replaced and it needs an new wiper module. These two things combined will cost me approx. $600.00. …”
