To start with, I have had continous problems with the brakes, which squeal loudly when coming to a stop, they moan & creek on the inside then forcefully pushes my foot off the pedal-- the headlights have been a real problem. I've had to replace these headlights 4 times now, 2 of which were done myself. I cannot go the speed limit on the freeways, barely even up to it, as the vehicle shakes & vibrates so violently, it feels like its being pulled apart in every direction, taking me with it. I can only get to about 46 mph before the shaking & vibrations start in. The steering wheel I have to grip tightly with both hands just to stay on the road, it shakes so much. The vehicle pulls to the right if I have to take my hands off the wheel even for a second. The driver side window & door panel rattles when the window is rolled down at any length, I can physically move the window. There is a continued buzzing on the driver's side speaker when the radio is on, even turning off the bass doesn't help. It's not on the passenger side. I don't feel safe driving this vehicle. The dealer charged me $1300 for an extended 'warranty' at a $100 deductible, but has refused to service the vehicle. I have never received the smog certificate, but was charged for the smog. The dealer who sold this piece of junk to me has completely wiped his hands of it as soon as it was dropped off on his lot. Said he wasn't 'responsible' for anything this vehicle needed. I'm out several hundred dollars on this vehicle. I wasn't looking to get a vehicle that needed so much work done to it right from the start. It has been & continues to be a living nightmare! I have contacted several agencies, only to have them shut there door in my face, because this is a used vehicle. My hands are literally up in the air, I don't know what to do anymore-- what is my legal recourse??
