Description of the problem	I purchased my vehicle with $7000 down and the first week the "drivetrain malfunction" warning came on as i was entering the freeway. They said it had to do with the turbo. It has been less than 2 years and my car has been in the shop 7 times for a "drivetrain malfunction". I have had to pull over in the middle of traffic most of the time off the freeway.
