Incident: October 16, 2008 · Filed: October 4, 2011

I GOT THIS CAR IN 2008, AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE THE DATE I GOT IT. I WAS TOLD BY DEALER TOUGH AS IT IS USED. WITH TRADE INS AND MONEY FOR ALL REPAIRS I HAVE DONE THUS FAR TOTAL WELL OVER $10,000 AND I PAID $8900.00 ITS RECENT REPAIR WAS TODAY FRONT WHEEL BEARING, HAD NEW WIRES AND PLUGS PUT IN THINKING THAT WOULD CURE THE SPITTING BUT CAR IS WORSE. I AM HAVING CAT CONVERTER TROUBLES, GAS GAUGE DANCES SO I NEVER KNOW WHEN I AM REALLY RUNNING LOW. I HAVE REPLACE MORE PARTS THAN I CAN COUNT, AND I CAN NOT TAKE IT ANY MORE, BUT YET I NEED A VEHICLE TO DRIVE. I AM RAISING MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER ALONE, AND I WILL NOT ALLOW HER TO DRIVE THIS CAR WHEN SHE GETS PERMIT, SO THERE ARE LESS ODDS OF A WRECK. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO PUT ANY MORE MONEY IN THIS CAR BUT WINTER IS COMING SOON, AND I NEED MY 4 X 4 IN GOOD RUNNING ORDER WITH NO ISSUES. I HAVE REPLACED MUCH OF THE WATER SYSTEM, FUEL PUMP, TO MANY PROBLEMS TO MENTION. MY CAR WAS ON A TOW TRUCK ONE MONTH AFTER I GOT IT, AND I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING WITH IT EVER SINCE. YOU KNOW THE SAYING NICKEL AND DIMING, I WISH BUT IN MY CASE IT IS TAKING ME UNDER AND WITH OUT A JOB AND SO FORTH I AM TRAPPED. THIS VEHICLE IS DOLLARING ME NOT NICKEL AND DIMING. *TR
