I have had problems with the car since I brought it. The windshield washer doesn't work, the mirrors don't work, 2 blowouts, the chambers that hold the spark plugs needed to be replaced, it needs a complete brake job, I have trouble when I put the car in drive. How can I complain to the dealer I think I brought the lemon of the bunch?.
