I bought this car from a private owner not a dealership. The only problem it had when we bought it was the fuel gauge did not work. Now almost a year later I have multiple problems. The worst is while driving down the road at 65 mph my car just shuts off, no warning, the steering locks up and this happened with my 2 children in the car it was very scary. Then while sitting at a red light when I got ready to drive it died on me again. Each time I have had to pull over, sit for a few minutes, then try to restart and it usual does until Dec. 2. it died and now it will not start. It will crank, the fuel pump is working and I have spark. Other problems: While checking oil one day I leaned against car and it shocked me; brake lights work when they want to; cannot lock doors from drivers side; coolant has to be refilled every week (no leaks have been found); trunk is not wanting to open with button or key; radio/antenna gets 1 station; A/C worked when we got it and apparently the diode or something went bad but you cannot buy just the diode. I am tired of all of these problems and have read many others like these. My main concern is the car dieing while driving down road and locking everything up.
