WHEELS, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN I PUT ON BRAKES THE IS A CLUNKING SOUND IN THE RIGHT REAR TIRE AREA LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE. IT SOUNDS ALMOST CONSTANTLY WHEN I APPLY MY BRAKES. THE CAR WOULD NOT START ON COLD DATES. AFTER START AND RUNNING FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME IT STOPS. I WOULD START BACK UP LATER. THE COOLANT LEAKED OUT CONTINUOUSLY. I HAD A HOSE REPLACED BUT IT DID NOT HELP. I HAD IT PUT ON THE COMPUTER ANALYSIS BUT NOTHING SHOWED UP. THE HORN BLOWS CONTINUOUSLY WHEN IT IS VERY COLD. I HAD TO REMOVE THE FUSE TO STOP IT. THE GAS FILLER DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN AUTOMATICALLY WHEN IT IS COLD. I HAD TO PRY IT OPEN WITH A SCREWDRIVER. THE CAR PUD PUD ALONG AS IF IT WAS NOT GETTING ENOUGH GAS. THE ODOMETER SEEMS TO BE INACCURATE RECORDING THE MILEAGE. I HAVE NOT BEEN ANYWHERE BUT IN THE CITY AND SURROUNDING AREAS. MANY TIMES I HAD TO STOP THE CAR AND START IT AGAIN FOR THE BRAKE LIGHT TO GO OUT. ALTHOUGH I LIKE THE BODY OF THE CAR IT HAS BEEN A DISASTER FOR ME. NOW IT DOES NOT RUN AT ALL. I SEEM TO HAVE A LEMON CAR AND IT WAS LIKE THAT WHEN I BOUGHT IT. IT SHOULD BE AGAINST THE LAW FOR ANYONE TO SELL A CAR LIKE THIS . THIS CAR DEALER NEEDS TO BE PUT IN JAIL. I HAVE RIDDEN MY GRANDCHILDREN AROUND IN THIS UNSAFE CAR AND I AM VERY UPSET AT THIS CAR'S CONDITION AS IT DOESNT RUN AT ALL NOW. I HAVE JUST WASTED A LOT OF MONEY BUYING IT AND TRYING TO KEEP IN REPAIRED AND RUN. IF THIS CAR DEALER DID NOT KNOW THE CONDITION OF THIS CAR HE SHOULD LOOSE HIS LICENSE TO SELL CAR. HE HAS ROBBED ME OF MY HARD EARNED MONEY.
