Rio5 EX

This car was purchased, it was a buy back at the dealership. Now it makes me wonder if I bought someone's lemon car??

There has been weird little problems with it, like when adjusting the power windows the stereo locks up/freezes and doesn't turn off.

It lags when turning around corners, loses power at acceleration. The RPM's jumps so high.. it's burning through gas. When I got it in Sept '10, it was great on gas. In the last couple of months I have noticed that it has burned through half a tank in a week that would have last 2.5 weeks (I havn't changed my driving locations.. same schedule..)

It's in the shop right now, I will update this complaint when I find out what is wrong...
