| Description of the problem | I really hate that i have so many issues with the console electrical in my car. Mostly radio/aux/charger/starter. Since about a week after i got the car, and of corse after 3 days its not returnable. I messed up buying it brand-new, but i was excited since my car before that was my first car that i had bought in high school. I had to have the charger unit replaced so i could charge my phone. At the time i was stationed 3 hours from home, so i frequently made the trip and needed my phone charged for the gps. It's not that it wouldn't charge, but the charger had to be "turned" a specific way. It wasn't the charger.. I tried countless. Recently, within the last year, i noticed that the aux is doing the exact same thing. And yes, i've tried multiple phones and aux cords, but the cord has to be turned a "certain way" in the hole to work. It pissed me off because i had to pay to have my charger replaced, and i'm sure i'll have to pay to have this replaced too. Oh, and the starter. (or i think its the starter) about a year ago, i have to turn the key and hold it for a second to get my car to start sometimes.. Its so irritating.. I learned my lesson with buying new cars. The warranties cover nothing and they have more issues then the old camaro i bought for my first car :/ |
