Description of the problem | I have had multiple issues with my car since i got it. I have been through three radios, an entirely new turbo was installed one year after purchasing the car. Then things were going well until recently. I have had the car in the shop about 3 weeks in a row. First it was one of my coils that had become inactive. So while driving it the car shakes and stutters. While driving on the highway i try to hit the gas and the car starts slowing down and shaking. So i had taken it to another shop to look at it because for a new car it is not in my finances to be putting $400 into my car every week. Had to get the part ordered so i am currently driving my car around with one coil inactive. Then in the midst of all this happening, one week after the coil had officially went inactive, it was back in the shop because my emergency brake all of a sudden became really loose and when i wasn't moving the car would roll. Which means the emergency brake wasn't doing its job. So that night i took it over to the dealership to have them look at it yet again. They called me the next day and said that my left rear caliber had seized which is described to me that it wasn't grabbing and releasing the wheel like it should have which also caused my brakes and rotors to wear so much that they had to be replaced. Which this was something i could not just let go, or even drive the car with, i had to pay the dealership over $400 to just fix my car so that i could drive it. I cannot believe all the trouble that i am going through for a car that is not even 5 years old. |
