The car that I had purchased has not lived up to it's expectations since I purchased it. Since I have had the car, I purchased it in Sept. Of 1998, the brakes have completely gone out, the emergency light comes on constantly even thought the emergency brake is not on. When purchasing the car, I had explained to the car dealer the I, being of only 19 yrs of age and this being my first big purchase I could not afford to buy a car then end up having to put tons of money into it. I am very upset at the fact that I have had the car for only a short while, the warranty has passed (how conveinient) and I refuse to be held responsible for a faulty sensor.
