Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My 1998 mlk 320 is going into the shop for the tenth time in 31 months, and the only reason it hasn't been in more often is i live 30 miles from the dealer. the car has been a nightmare. the problems are numerous; many have never been successfully repaired. the main problem that started not long after i purchased the car (new) is, when i start it the car dies. i have to repeat the process and eventually the car will start. there are also a myriad of small, continuous problems; windows that won't go up, locks that lock and unlock on their own, plastic parts that have fallen off. it has is awful. it makes my 95 ford ranger truck seem like a dream auto.
