Ac failed four times within two weeks; vehicle is under warranty, but dealer won't replace and still hasn't fixed the problem. Catalytic converter was replaced, but improperly installed; had to return to dealer second time to get it fixed, as they had it improperly attached and mounted next to gas tank. Vehicle also drives rough, and sounds horrible, although dealer said no other problems were found.
