What owners wrote
While drivining consumer's son fell asleep and knocked water off cup holder onto floorboard. Started to smell wires burning, and heard crackling noises. Contacted fire department, and was informed that wires under front seat were exposed and causing the noise. Indicated to let wires dry before using vehicle. After drying started vehicle nd crackling noise was still heard until fuse was removed. Contacted manufacturer, and informed consumer that it was not their problem, it was owner's fault.
I have constantly taken my car in for the same reasons. The car jerks, the whole car vibrates when it rains, if it's cold out the car refuses to start in the morning. There have been numerous transmission and piston problems.
