Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Seems like every 3-4 months brakes start to pulsate, 3 times so far, each time replaced, being told that wrong style being used, engine check light just started acting up for the 6th time, each time being told it is sensors or ground connections. just noticed the clutch problem of going too low to floor for the 6th time, each time being told something different. this is getting old. went to open drivers door one day an handle would not work. was leaking fluid from right front side of vehicle another time to find it was the axle seal, which was replaced 2 times. getting ready to tell dealer they can have this car. for only having less than 14,000 miles, too much is happening too often. *ak
