I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE IN 4 DIFFERENT TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS. THE CAR BOAGS DOWN AND STALLS WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO STALL IN TRAFFIC SEVERAL TIMES. THE PROBLEM HAS STILL NOT BEEN FIXED IN THE 4 TIMES I'VE TAKEN IT IN. NOT TO MENTION ALL THE OTHER SMALL THINGS.CONSTANT RATTLE IN THE DASH AND WINDOWS, BATTERY LIGHT STUCK ON, TRUNK WILL NOT UNLATCH, AND THE DASH LIGHTS WILL SURGE EVEN AFTER I'VE HAD THE DASH REPLACED. I AM VERY UPSET WITH THIS CAR AND EVEN MORE WITH THE LACK OF SERVICE BEING PROVIDED BY THE DEALERSHIP!
