“I purchased a 1997 Nissan Quest from bell honda august 30,2003 at 9:30 pm. By 1:30 pm the next day (16 hours later) the check engine light was on and the back suspension sounded like it was 100 years old. The windshield washers did not function properly and it was monsoon season. The switch for power windows was not working, I had a brake light out, no sun visor, and no dash lights to illuminate my gauge cluster at night. All within 16 hours and 15.5 of those hours it was sitting in my driveway not even being used. …”
