ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES, TIRES, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
I USED TO OWN A FIREBIRD, BUT I HAD TO TRADE IT IN FOR A BIGGER CAR CAUSE MY 2 YEAR OLD WAS GETTING TO BIG FOR THE BACK SEAT. I FOUND THIS CAR PLACE AND WENT IN AND MET WITH THE OWNER, TOLD HIM I DIDN'T WANT A PIECE OF CRAP CAR BECAUSE I HAVE A DAUGHTER TO LOOK OUT FOR, SINCE I HAVE HAD THE CAR IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT MONEY AND PROBLEMS. THE CAR I TRADED IN FOR HAD NO PROBLEMS. HE HAD TOLD ME THAT THE CAR WAS IN GREAT SHAPE, IT HAD NEW TIRES, AND BRAKES, AND IT RUNS GREAT. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE MUFFLER, NEW TIRES, NEW BRAKES, DEFROSTER DOES NOT WORK, NEED A RADIATOR, I'M A SINGLE PARENT WITH LOW INCOME I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX THE CAR EVERYTIME SOMETHING GOES WRONG.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
ENGINE WILL NOT START (EVEN TURN OVER) WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IN THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR GETS TOO HOT. THIS OCCURS ON ALL HOT DAYS. I CURRENTLY HAVE TO LEAVE ALL THE WINDOWS COMPLETELY DOWN, THE SUNROOF CRACKED (HOT AIR RISES), AND MY SILVER SUNSHADE ON THE OUTSIDE OF MY WINDSHIELD SO THAT NO SUN CAN EVEN PENETRATE THE WINDSHIELD GLASS. IF I DON'T DO THIS, I WILL BE STUCK WHERE EVER I'M PARKED UNTIL SUN DOWN. IF CAR WON'T START, I HAVE TO OPEN ALL DOORS INCLUDING HATCHBACK AND WAIT FOR INTERIOR CABIN TEMPERATURE TO COOL DOWN. *JB
