What owners wrote
Vehicle's ABS brakes failed three times, make gronding noise/dimmer switch overheated/replaced rusted muffler/gas accelerator too close to brake pedal/ vehicle bucks and hesitates at low speed/noisy lifters.
"check engine" light has been on since I baught the car. I have tried several times to have it fixed but the light still comes on. My car will not pass california smog with the light on which means that I cannot renew my registration the next time the dmv requires a smog check.
