Well, It all started about 2 months ago when my radio just turns off by itself, didn't think to much about it until we were sitting at a light and we always run our headlights so one went out, we saw when it happened. The next day my hubby went to the auto parts store and bought a bulb to replace it, no problem. Well a few days later we were at a store and he had gone into the store and I saw where the headlight was out again, totally pissed at this point.

I decided to take the piece of sh*t to the dealer we bought it from. They quickly informed my that my warranty had just gone out 2 weeks earlier. WOW, you have got to be kidding me?? The car has 59000 miles and I'm gonna have to put out money I do not have on a car I don't know will last me 10 years? I am disabled and don't drive a lot, well, you can tell, 5 years old and under 60 thousand miles. They told me it would cost me the price of diagnostic check plus whatever it took to fix. Wow, $110.00 to hook it up to a computer and then they told me it would be $368.00 to fix one side and the other side would need it too.. I had them just put a new light in cause I didn't have the $ to spend on it. Left there and dammit the air conditioner cuts off.

What else is gonna go wrong? So I had a car 5 years old and it has wiring problems. The air conditioner cuts on when it wants to and off when you need it the most. So if anyone have the desire to purchase a Spectra? DON'T...... IF YOU DO YOUR CRAZIER THAN I WAS.. WISH I HAD NEVER BOUGHT IT.....Thank you
