MY CAR WOULD LEAVE ME STRANDED, WOULDN'T START AFTER GETTING WET FROM EITHER RAIN OR WASHING IT AT THE CAR WASH. ALL GAUGES, A/C SPEEDOMETER,ETC... FAILED.

AND THE VINYL TRIM ON MY DOORS BELOW MY WINDOWS IS ALL BUBBLED AND COMING UNGLUED. IN MY OPINION I WAS SOLD A "LEMON" AND I WANT TO FIND OUT HOW TO FILE A CLAIM.*AK

INTERMITTENTLY WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES. DEALER HAS REPLACED LINING IN BRAKE ROTORS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.*AK
