I have always maintained my car regularly, but I've had so many problems with it. First of all, I've always had brake trouble, second: My turn signals will sometimes come on when I hit the brakes (or sometimes not at all), my defrost keeps breaking (only vent and bi-level will work); my horn died for no reason a few months ago, and today my car won't start (I drove to church, and it worked fine, but when I later tried starting my car, it wouldn't start. It appeared as though the battery was dead - Leicester, NC, USA
