  • Automatic transmission
  • 30 miles
Not only do I have the aggrevation of bent rims and flat tires, and financial hardship on this, my left side of the car doesn't align to the right. Water leeks in on the left side. Sometimes the heater blows out cool air. The sunroof shakes when opening. I already had a manufacuters defect in my strut on the left side. I have sctraches on the left side fom the car scrapping the ground when I make a right hand turn. I had to have the cooling system replaced the first week I financed it.my hood won't open and my headlights fail causing me to dirve only with the fog lights. All these issues are the same and constant since I purchased this lemon.

The driver was following a dump truck while driving 40 mph. The dump truck started losing rocks from the back of the vehicle. The driver tried to avoid the rocks, however, a rock hit the sunroof of the consumer's vehicle. As a result, the sunroof glass broke causing the glass to enter the vehicle. The consumer states that, "this is the second time the sunroof glass has broken."
