I have fixed everything on that damn car down to the wheel bearings, breaks, timing belt, even all the sensors. It cost me almost $800.00 to fix the timing belt and the transmission went out 2 days later!

I AM VERY UPSET IT ALL STARTED AT ONCE. I HEARD A SQUEEKING NOISE FROM MAYBE A BELT. THEN THE CAR WOULD NOT STAY IN GEAR. I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS CAR TO ANYONE WHO NEEDS TO GET TO POINT A TO B. I GOT IT USED AND IS STILL NOT PAID OFF AND UNABLE TO DRIVE. I AM EVEN ON DIALYSIS WHICH I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GO TO THE LAST 2 TREATMENTS. PLEASE HELP ME OUT AND NO ONE GET A CAR LIKE THIS NEW OR USED!
