Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Continual problems, some undiagnosed. unsympathetic dealership. reoccuring problems. most problems occurring after lease/warranty were up. too many problems for a car that is only about 2 and a half years old. dealership unable to diagnose why brake light is on, a/c not working, engine not starting although starter was replaced, or why engine began smoking. all the problems appear related. they all occur at the same time.the car is unsafe and i am afraid to drive it now because no one can figure out what is wrong with it.*ak
