| Description of the problem | Ever since i have owned the car, the airbag light has been on and does not go off until the car is off. The rpm gage has always been erratic when driving at normal speeds. The car lurches forward when at a stop light and while accelerating. The engine smells as if wires are burning and it seems increasingly hot, but the gage stays normal. The gas tank cannot be filled quickly, i have to trickle gas into the tank brake pads wear down constantly. I have already filed a complaint about the brake light switch being defective and this should be addressed before someone gets killed. |
