I've completed a complaint form before (earlier this year) regarding serious issues with the engine. Since purchasing the car the issues with the engine has never been fixed. When starting the car the engine will not turn over to start. Some times when turning the key fob the engine has no sound and there are no lights on the dashboard. Other times the engine will click 5 - 10 times before finally starting. There is also issues with the battery. Since 2008 the battery has been replaced 5 or 6 times - something is draining the battery. I've brought the car to 2 separate dealers and a mechanic for these issues. The dealerships could not find why these things are happening. The mechanic thinks its the alternator or starter or definitely something between the ignition switch and the engine.

Last night as my wife was driving home the car dies out and she lost hydralics, so the brakes didn't work and she is lucky that she did not crash and kill herself or someone else. I have had the car in for calliper and brake replacement for both the front 22,000 miles and rear 28,000. The ignition starting problem 3 times.
