Description of the problem	As i was driving down the road headed to the store the vehicle just died right there where i was at so i had to push the brake and move gear shifter to park, turn it off, turn it back on and then it was fine the rest of the way. I just bought this car from auto smart in longview tx on 10/22/2019 and when i got home i started looking up the vin number to see if i could find any details like a car fax report and i came across this site and found that there are actually recalls on this vehicle that have not been fixed yet. The motor already sounds rough and it has 120k miles and the none of the adapters work (like to plug ur phone for charging)! Or the radio. That company said they had another one order. Also the driver side window when u roll it up it will automatically roll right back down so u have to make sure u hold it up all the way to the end.
