When at a light started to acelerate and car stalled , car is hard to turn on, when turned on the car would vibrate and smoke; also having other problems, will explain, took to dealer on seven occasions replace computer cluster and reprogrammed computer twice.
Reocurring electrical problems. The car has not been driven even 100 miles the last year and a half because it wont pass inspection. The emission system has gone out. Since we've had the car we've had to replace the ignition system and the windows kept going off track. As of now the passenger side window will not go up. I cant afford to get it fixed since I was diagnosed with "congestive heart failure" and I'm on permanent disability through social security.
