| Description of the problem | My vehicle rattles and knocks all the time. It has a little over 65000 miles and has done this for years. I have taken it to the dealership and told it supposed to sound like that. The car has no power what so ever climbing hills and my gas mileage keeps going down. I have heard this is a common problem but i want it fixed as i dont fee this car is reliable as it has quit running one time before because of this problem. Something needs to be done before someones car cuts off and causes an accident and someone get killed. It does this anytime you give the car throttle. The second thing is the poor stitching in the leather seats. My seats started coming apart at the seams and the dealer says its not covered under warranty but i purchased a full 10 year 100000 mile warranty. This is poor materials and workmashipl i drive the car about 14 days a month and it shouldn't already have a coming apart. |
