Electrical issues, timing belts, instrument cluster - it's all very costly. When driving at high speed, an aroma like fumes come through the ac vents. That can be harmful. I kept up with maintenance as scheduled. Here I was being a single mother and thinking I was purchasing a reliable vehicle. I'm dissatisfied.
