WHEN I TRIED TO UNLOCK IT THE HORN HONKED BUT IT DID UNLOCK AND WHEN I TURNED THE KEY IT STARTED BUT THE HORN HONKED AGAIN. I COULDN'T GET THE HEATER OR RADIO TO WORK. I PUT IT INTO REVERSE IT HONKED AND KEPTED HONKING. I TURNED IT OFF AND THOUGHT THAT WOULD CLEAR EVERYTHING. THEN I COULDN'T GET IT STARTED. WE WENT BACK INTO THE STORE AND WHEN WE CAME BACK OUT I COULDN'T GET THE FROUNT DOORS TO UNLOCK. WHEN I PUSHED THE UNLOCK BUTTON IT HONKED AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHER STARTED WORKING. I MANAGED TO GET BACK IN BY GETTING INTO THE BACK DOORS. I WAS TALKING TO THE TOW PERSON WHEN I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN AND IT STARTED BUT THE LIGHTS DIDN'T WORK. THE FOG LIGHTS WORKED SO I THOUGHT I MIGHT TRY TO LIMP IT HOME. I WENT A BACK WAY BUT IT WOULDN'T SHIFT OUT OF 2ND GEAR. I FINALLY STOPPED AND CALLED FOR THE TOW. THE NEXT MORNING I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC. EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FINE. THEY LOOKED AT IT AND COULDN'T MAKE DO ANY OF THE THINGS I DISCRIBED. THE COMPUTER GUY CHECKED IT OUT AND SAID THE PART THAT NEEDED REPLACING WAS NOT AVAILABLE BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH IT THERE IS A 2 YEAR BACKLOG MAKING THEM.

WHY SHOULD THE BUYER BE PUT IN THE POSITION OF TRAIDING IN THE CAR WHEN WE BOUGHT IT IN GOOD FAITH AND INTENDED TO KEEP IT. *TR
