“A few problems here. I bought this vehicle brand new. From the second I took it off the lot the heat did not work. I bought this vehicle in november, do you think I was happy? So they fixed this problem on a brand new car. Then last year in 2004 my car decided it would not start at all. Turns out it was the starter that went and that had to be replaced on a vehicle that was only a year old. So because of this I had to have my car towed from my driveway to the dealership. Then the latch broke off on the center console inside the vehicle. I am not rough using it at all. …”
