Since consumer owned car brakes had to be changed five times. 3 batteries had to be put in. Engine light came on on instrument panel, anti-freeze is leaking and the engine is running rough.
I have only had this car for 1 month. It had been in the shop 3 times. It has never been fixed to my satisfaction. The battery died the day after I brought it home. The brakes had to be completely replaced. That cost ~$200. I have a small infant and bought this car for safety (dual airbags) the dealer won't buy the car back and the service department can't seem to fix the car. Help!!!
