"Great Ride Maintenance Nightmare"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

3 window regulators, battery twice, cruise control button, head light button, hood paint peeling, brakes.

General comments?

Have replaced three window regulators in first 2500 miles on the car at $400.00 each trip.

Cruise control button stuck and failed to operate in first year, took dealership three days to replace it.

I have replaced battery once in 25000 miles and the second is going dead and needing jumped after only seven months of service.

Paint on hood began to bubble and peel just after the warranty ran out on the car. Body shop said the hood looked like it had never been properly cleaned before it was painted the first time.

The car is in the service now. Headlight switch is stuck in the on position and dealership tells me the brake system needs drained, flushed and rotors turned. No new pads they say they are fine, but fluid is contaminated and rotors are warped. They want $1500.00 for this brake service. No guess yet what the headlight switch is going to cost, but it has to be fixed.

Maintenance Nightmare??? if you want one of them I suggest a Chrysler/Dodge Intrepid, they will give you a good nightmare.

$1500 for rotors and a fluid flush??? I hate to be the one to tell you this, but you're getting boned. It's probably time to find a new mechanic.

Maybe the battery you bought is your problem...
