I bought the car on 08/28/2010 and only drove it that day. Since it was a Saturday and they closed early, I had to wait until Monday to contact them. On Monday, a rep from the dealership told me that they sold the car to me from someone who didn't have a dealership or title for the car and he was using their dealership to sell and to retrieve the title once the sell was final. The car was ok when I left the dealership, but after a couple hours it died on me while I was driving almost causing a accident. On the dash it keep saying, "check charging system". I know a lil about cars and I really need the transportation because I'm a college student at the university of Wisconsin-milwaukee, I decided to try to get it fixed to my knowledge, but it seems as if it's something more to this "lemon" auction auto sold me. I replaced the alternator, voltage regulator and bought a new battery and nothing has changed. It'll drive for a hour or two then die while I'm driving.

January 10th the 'door ajar' sensor came on and the interior lights were on. I checked all 4 doors, they were all closed and the lights remained on. I then pushed the 'reset' button for the sensor and the lights then would go off for a brief time and come back on. Then, today January 11th the same thing occurred but after the car was turned off for a couple of hours the problem increased. I started the car, the 'door ajar' sensor came on along with the lights. Again the doors were checked, they were all shut. As I started to drive the lights went off, then when I came to a complete stop. The lights would turn on, and when I pushed the gas the lights faded away and turned off. When I turned my car off and locked the doors the lights stayed on for over 10-15 minutes. I've had numerous people look at it, and they don't understand what could have caused it. But there being a short or touching wires. I have not yet done anything to correct the problem. Im having someone else look at the wiring January 12th.
