IT SOUNDS LIKE MY NEW CAR IS 20 YEARS OLD, I HAVE COMPLAINED SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY ACT LIKE I'M CRAZY THEY HAVE BROUGHT IT IN 4 TIMES AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED THE STEERING WILL FREEZE AND JERK OUT OF MY HANDS. ALSO THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL TIMES IT WILL NOT EVEN START, THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME ITS A DIFFERENT PROBLEM EVERY TIME, BUT YET IT HAS NEVER GOTTEN BETTER JUST WORSE, IT IS THE WORSE CAR I HAVE EVER DROVE AND IT ONLY HAS 5,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE COMPLAINED SINCE THE WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT IT. *LA

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN JUNE 2003 WITH 1695 MILES ON IT. ONE MONTH LATER IT'S IN THE SHOP BECAUSE THERE WAS WATER LEAKING IN THROUGH THE MOONROOF'S OPEN/CLOSE BUTTON AND THE TRUNK FAILED TO OPEN USING THE REMOTE OR THE BUTTON ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR. THE DEALER HAD THE WINDSHIELD RESEALED AND FIXED THE CONNECTION PROBLEM FOR THE TRUNK. NOW THE VEHICLE'S FOG LAMPS GO ON AND STAY ON FOR NO REASON, EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. I HAD TO TAKE THE FUSE OUT FOR THE WEEKEND UNTIL I CAN TAKE IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS THE SECOND ELECTRICAL PROBLEM I'VE HAD AND THE CAR ONLY HAS 4200 MILES ON IT. *PH

ALSO WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PASS AT SPEEDS FROM 50MPH, ACCELERATOR DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT RESULTING CHANGE EVIDENCED BY INCREASE IN RPM OR SPEED OF THE VEHICLE.
