THERE IS A LOUD POPPING NOISE COMING FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL. THE DEALER HAS ATTAMPTED TO FIX THE PROBLEM ATLEAST 4 TIMES. THE LAST TIME THEY TRIED THEY ATTEMPTED TO FIX ALL FOUR WHEELS, EVEN THOUGH II ONLY STATED A NOISE FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL, NOW THE REAR WHEEL POPS REALLY LOUD OVER PUMPS AND IN TURNS. I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURE AND SO FAR THEY HAVE NOT CALLED ME BACK. IN ADDITION TO THIS, I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE AIR CONDITIONER FIXED TWICE, A NEW RADIO PUT IN, SINCE THE LAST TIME IT WAS IN THERE MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS DONT WORK, WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR MY HEAD LIGHTS DIDNT WORK, AND THE VALVE COVER GASKET REPLACED BECAUSE IT WAS LEAKING OIL. THE VALVE COVER GASKET WAS FIXED ONLY FOR A FEW DAYS BEFORE THE SAME PROBLEM OF A LACK OF HORSEPOWER RETURNED. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST EVERYTIME I DROP MY CAR OFF TO THE DEALER, THEY KEEP IT FOR 2-3 WEEKS AT A TIME. ONE TIME THEY EVEN PUT 200 MILES ON MY CAR BEFORE THEY WOULD RETURN IT.*AK
