Galant 4-cyl

I purchased my first brand new car on 03-01-04, since I had my vehicle it stared to make rattling noices when I press on the gas. The noice got loader and loader. I mitsu to fix the problem, I visited them 3 times and yet no one could find a problem. I waited for one month to be able to see the reginal manager which then he gave me a lesson on types of gasoline then handed me a bottle of fuel injector fluid and told me to drive a little faster to surpass the noice.he also told me to use premium gas which the book manual states to use regular, yet ive done what he stated and I saved my receipts yet no difference at all. The noice gets loader everyday and I feel embarrassed instead of proud of my purchase.... just recently the airconditioner did not turn on for almost and hour and I did not mention this but when I had the vehicle for 2 weeks it cut off while waiting at the light............ I asked the manager what to do if his recommedations do not work, he stated to talk to dealer to see if he could give me a deal. I cant I have no more money. I saved $6000 just to purchase this vehicle! I am tapped out and dont know what to do..... please help me iris pena.
