  ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR, VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM, AIR BAGS

  I AM VERY DISTURBED BY THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS THE 2ND "NEW" CAR I HAVE BOUGHT FROM TOM PEDENS AND IT IS ALSO THE 2ND "LEMON" I TRADED IN A 2000 GRAND PRIX BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE TROUBLE I WAS HAVING PLUS I LOST $2,000 ON THE TRADE-IN, BUT I NEEDED A DEPENDABLE CAR, AND I CHOSE THE "AZTEC" AND RECEIVED ANOTHER LEMON. NOW WHAT DO I DO? THE MECHANICS SAY THAT THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING FOR THE RATTLES, REMOTE, OR THE LATCH, SO DID I SPEND $22,000 FOR ANOTHER CAR? I WORK HARD FOR MY MONEY AND LOOK OUT FOR THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN. REALLY HOW SAFE ARE THEY, WHEN THEY GET IN A BRAND NEW CAR THAT IS FALLING APART? PLEASE HELP ME!!!! *AK
