The drivers side rear tire kept losing air, so I brought it back several times. They kept saying it was fixed, it lasted about 6 weeks and started losing air again, after weeks of putting air in it I brought it to another shop to have it looked at. Come to find out the aluminum wheel had a crack in it and had what looked like J B weld on it. I had to buy a new wheel for the cost of $355. I took the cracked wheel back to the dealer and he said, how do I know you didn't do that, that's when I lost it. They put my family and I in a car with a cracked wheel and they knew it. He said what was your warranty I said 30 days and told me to get off his lot. I asked him to just make it right. The passenger side headlight is all fogged up they will not replace it, it does not shine as bright as the other one at night. It seems to me like they put a sticker on that car knowing it had defects with it and they don't care. I think they need that right to give out stickers revoked. I told him I was going to call my lawyer he said go a head call any body you want. So I did starting with ate ag office I am dealing with masspirg ref #131117. At this point I would like the headlight fixed the money for the rim and soothing for my time and aggravation like maybe the cost of the car or they can take it back and reimburse all monies invested by me.

Got ready to take kids to the doctor and the tire was flat. Managed to get the tire aired up with compressor at house and took to a mechanic to check to see if the tire was punctured. Turns out no puncture. Decided to replace tire in case of "dryrot", when tire was taken off, the rim was cracked. Had to buy another rim. 2 months later, another rim did the same thing. Now we've had a third rim crack. These are the standard factory rims that the vehicle rolled of the production floor with.
