Description of the problem	I bought my car around the first week of november 2003. In the first month i took the car back to the dealership three times for repair. The problem was with the engine. Apparently one of the rotors was not firing causing a raw fuel smell to enter the car through the ventilation. With only 2000 miles, the engine was replaced after the third visit. Two months have passed and after three days of no driving, the car will no longer start. *jb
