I was on my way to school, the car began making a grinding noise, as I moved to the shoulder it died and the steering wheel locked up, the radio cut off, the horn stayed on, all the wipers went full force and the doors locked. When I finally kicked the door open I went to the front of the vehicle and opened the good. I began so smell burning plastic and went to the driver side again. When I got there, there were flaming drips coming from under the panels. I attempted to put them out but it was futile. I removed myself from the situation and called fire rescue. The whole thing took 2 minutes before the car was toast.

Gas tank 5 gallons not 8 as listed in the book. Tanks fills up premium gas for $10. Gas pump said it put out 5 gallons only into the tank. That filled up the whole. Now I'm naive to fill up soon I reach another 100 miles. This is not going to work. You sold me the wrong vehicle. Instead of helping me make a wise decision your only concern was to sell sell sell that's it. Mpg is around 30. Not true it's at 23 mpg. Mirrors don't adjust correctly. Blind-siding is dangerous and fatal. Emissions issue: smells like plastic/rubber burning ??? battery level indicator is missing. Doesn't power my phone while vehicle engine is off. Audio system keeps cutting off phone calls and the google navigator guidance. The bumper to bumper 75,000 miles warranty doesn't even cover 60 miles per day for the next 4 years. That's 1,800 miles /month. 21,600 miles per year. I do 10,000 miles per month. I walked in the dealership thinking I will be paying no more than $100. Sadly enough I don't know what I was thinking to sign up a $265/month note for next 5 years on a car that doesn't have enough room for at least missing trunk sliding cover. Caddy for iphone alarm system is low. Radio static have all the station in decimal points but doesn't pick and settle on one that's broadcasting. Terrible radio.
