"Minute Maid has a new competitor!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

-In a span of two months, the following things have gone wrong:

-There were scratches on the rear bumper upon purchase.

-The CD player jammed.

-The paint was chipped and scratched upon purchase.

-The car began smelling of rotten eggs (this seems to be a common problem)

-The AC failed and wasn't fixed by the dealer.

General comments?

This has got to be the worst car I have owned by far. Never before has owning a car been such a hassle.

I guess it's not a complete loss, it'll supply me with enough lemonade to last a couple of years.

Why would you accept a new car that had scratches and chips. Always pick up a new car in the day so you can inspect it for defects.

Rotten eggs smell. I have not come across that yet. Anything 'upon purchase' is your own fault and the dealer should fix the A/C under warranty.
