Just a couple of days after the purchase of the vehicle the brakes were making a bad scrubbing noise, and I had no turn signal at all I noticed a clicking sound coming from the hazard warning light.during the clicking sound the turn signal would work at times and I would smell something like a burning smell. While the car was park and no one around it the lights would come on inside and out by their self and this causes my battery to go dead and I have to boost it off. I have contacted the car dealer that I purchased it from and they were very rude and hateful and told me it was my problem and that there is nothing they can do about it. That they sold it to me at a good deal and they could not help me.

This car is a headache because you have to keep changing the brakes about every 4 wks on one side then later the other side starts to wear down...I have changed my brakes 3 time in the last 2 months for just one side...it is causing damage to my rotors. They act like they can't stop, it is dangerous on wet grounds and it is very costly to keep repairing the same issue less than 6 months...unfortunately I got the ones that have a warranty on them to replace due to wear.
