The manufacturer has been contacted several times to no avail. We had to rent a car on our own because the manufacturer does not issue them. The dealer told us that arbitration nor lemon law would help us in this situation that we just needed to keep having repairs done on the car. The manufacturer was supposed to have a supervisor call us back in February and we are still waiting on the call. No safety defect listed within summary.

I have had to have a power steering, rack and pinion, 4 sets of brakes going on 5. I have had to have my tires rotated more times than necessary. The brakes makes a grinding, rattling noise when I try to stop. When I press on the brakes it doesn't stop quickly. The gaskets around the door ifs falling off. The radio will shut off for no reason. The heater works when it's hot outside. The windshield was leaking. It has since been repaired. Sometimes the car wont crank after sitting for a while it will crank. The engine light comes on. The glove box fell apart. I have computer problems and wiring problems. The gears are hard to put in reverse and then when it finally pops into gear it makes a loud popping sound. It slow to put in drive and then it will take off real fast almost making you run into something.
