| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Instrument cluster malfunction: (purchased this used car march 1, 2003. started noticing problems shortly thereafter, decided to report it after the most current incident and unsuccessful attempts at fixing). - when trying to start the car, it will start then die immediately, i have almost been stranded a few times. i had to keep trying to restart the car until the engine finally stayed running (this has occurred at least 7 times from march 1, 2003 and is getting progressively worse). could this potentially cause the engine to die while driving? - the seat belt warning buzzer has never functioned during my ownership. - the door buzzer has never functioned during my ownership, not if the lights are left on or if the keys are still in the ignition. *jb |
