"For places that always stay above 32"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Very hard if not impossible to start in the winter time. The car would flood very easily. We one time cranked a brand new battery dead trying to start this piece of crap on a cold winter day. It wasn't the fuel pump, spark plugs, or coolant temp sensor. We still don't know why it won't start in the winter.

Sometimes the seatbelt light stays on after someone enters through the front doors.

The E-brake doesn't even work. (It made me fail a driver's license test.)

There's a metal-with-metal rattle in the engine.

The car is ready to fall apart.

General comments?

The accelerator is really sensitive. Tap it, and it goes... that is if we can get the thing to start (see above)

Smooth transmission.

Try a bottle of "Heat" for the winter starts. I have a 300,000 mile LeSabre and it's awesome. But, you have to feed them good gas. Mine does the same when there is water in the gas.

Also, crappy design, E-Brake won't engage unless the car is on a hill, read up on it.

And it's not a piece of crap if it has 275k on it.
