Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I bought this car used, and have had problems since the day i drove it off the lot. car was sold with "check engine" light on, and it took 2 repair visits for it to be fixed. numerous minor problems have had to be fixed in the last 2 months that i have owned the car. new transmission put in at 69000 miles. once i received the car back from the dealership, "check oil" light was on, but oil level was fine. brought the car in to the dealership so the mechanic could reset it. after that, all gauges on the dash periodically quit working while driving, and mileage was not being recorded while gauges were out. when the gauges come back on, the "service vehicle soon" light is lit. the vehicle is currently at the dealership for repairs for this problem with the gauges for the 3rd time in the last month. i definitely feel that i got a lemon and am unhappy.
