Since I bought the vehicle, the car has gotten horrendous gas mileage, the horn intermittently does not work and the transmission has slipped. The car was taken back to the dealer and nothing was done. I was told "we were unable to find a problem." The horn issue nearly resulted in a car accident lastnight as the horn, again, decided to take the night off. This is not right!!
