After buying the vehicle from a auto dealer between July 2 and July 5 . . . This vehicle began to have many problems like the audio receiver switch from radio to cd on its own,doors locks on its own,rpm runs to 4000 going 45mph after a hard jerk assuming that I was hit by a other car the air bag light came on after that 2 hard jerks while driving,,(they didn't even deployed) can not pump gas due to fuel keeps over flowing when its barely empty . . . . Its been a living ?!@#$% and I'm still paying for the car. . . . Is it legal for a dealership to sell a vehicle like this.
