"Your worst nightmare"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The power windows would not role up.
The passenger door would not open.
The gas tank cable was broken.
The brake pedal connection was broken.
The CD player displayed error messages.
The taillight fell out.
The Air Conditioning Compressor went out.
General comments?
The car is beautiful, but a nightmare.
The warranty is very bad and does not cover the items that should be covered in a new car.
The customer service representatives will not allow you to speak to a manager.
