Edotson81 answered 5 years ago

I bought this car new from the dealer. My brake pedal has failed to stop the car twice. My transmission has seemed to slip from day 1. It has driven forward in reverse three times. My stereo has gone haywire showing strange symbols where my preset station should have been. All these problems fix themselves when i turn the car off and restart it. Anyone else have similar issues?
