I've had numerous problems with this car from time of purchase. I have 9 pages that lists the defects of this. I would never recommend anyone buy this car. I didn't list the electrical problems I've had from rear lights not working, dome light fell off, blinker stopped working. Windows making a crackling noise when rolling up or down, and doors jamming for no reason. I didn't want problems with my vehicle that is why I purchased a new one, but I still have major defects! the issue with the engine taking a while to finally start, has never been fixed.
