THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RETURNED TO RON'S AUTOMOTIVE NUMEROUS TIMES. THE AIRBAG LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TURN SIGNALS WERE CORRECTED. IT KNOW THAT THE PROBLEM WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT PREVENTED US FROM GIVING A WARNING THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE. ALL PROBLEMS APPEAR TO GO HAND IN HAND. FROM THE INFORMATION I HAVE OBTAINED OVER THE LAST 24 HOURS IT APPEARS THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS NUMEROUS DEFECTIVES WHICH CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. FORTUNATELY IN THIS CASE NO ONE WAS INJURED. THIS PARTICULAR CAR MUST BE A LEMON. I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT IF IT WAS RETURNED TO THE ORIGINAL DEARSHIP UNDER THE LEMON LAW.
