General Comments
It is a gas guzzler for sure and I don't know why. It is too small to use that much gas! The tires were completely REPLACED at the dealership 3 weeks ago and it had to have an alignment at that time. This was under warranty as the tires were defeective. As we speak the car is in the shop AGAIN because it needs it's front brake pads and rotors replaced! I see others have complained about this as well! What is going on? Thank goodness it is under warranty or they would have a huge fight on their hands, but my 2 year old car has been in the shop a dozen times now between factory recalls and problems like these, which could be serious safetly concerns. I love my car but am very disappointed by this and tired of the headache of taking it in!
