I have had numerous problems with my vehicle, many of which I did not mention. Most of the complaints I have made, have never been taken care of and today the problems still exist. I have taken my vehicle for repairs on several occasions for a rotten egg smell coming from exhaust along with the check engine light coming on. My car continues to fail smog every year, and this year I have been unable to register my vehicle as a result. I now have numerous registration tickets, which I am paying fines on with all attempts to make the corrections, with no luck.

The first problem I had was the transmission. It doesn't go into second gear anymore. When you can get it into second it grinds very badly. I don't understand why it would just go out unless defective. So now I have to shift from first to third gear and bypass second gear. The second defect I have found is the wiper washers that are mounted in the hood. They had leaked water down the side of the hood which resulted in runing the paint.
