Car accelerated from 5 MPH until hit the car in front.brake didn't work.this happened once before. Dealer insulted driver instead of a followup.
2 days after we purchase the car a brake shoe braket came off and was rubbing the rear rotor. July, 3 windows went bad, 2 were the wiring and 1 was the motor. October the front wheel bearing needed replaced plus wheel alignment. September the exhuast broke off behind the catalytic converter I had it fixed myself. The exhuast had also broke off 6 months earlier in front of the muffler but I fixed it. One window that they fixed in july 2002 went bad again in june of 2003 and needed fixed.
