HAVE HAD CAR LESS THAN A YEAR. AIR BAG LIGHTS CONSTANTLY COME ON AND I HAVE TO GET IT REPAIRED - LIGHT IS ON WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE STOPPED. LIGHT CAME IN THE DAY I GOT THE CAR AS I WAS LEAVING THE LOT AND THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING FOR IT. ALSO THE CAR KEEPS STALLING. HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED AND ALTERNATOR CHECKED, WHICH IS RUNNING ALMOST LIKE BRAND NEW. THE CAR STILL STALLS WHILE DRIVING IT WITH NO WARNING SIGNS AT ALL. NO LIGHTS ARE ON IT WILL JUST HAPPEN, AGAIN, WITH NO WARNINGS. EVERYTHING GETS LOCKED UP AND I CAN'T EVEN PUT THE CAR IN NEURAL TO BACK IT OUT FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THE CAR CAN BARELY HANDLE HIGHWAY SPEED LIMIT OF 70, THE BUMPS OR GROVES IN THE ROAD ALMOST FEEL LIKE IT'S PUSHING THE CAR AND IT WILL SPIN OUT (THIS IS IN DRY WARM WEATHER). I'VE CHECKED THE TIRES THEY ARE FINE. THE ENTIRE SUSPENSION IS BAD AND NEEDS REPLACED. THE CHARGING SYSTEMS FOR YOUR PHONES DON'T ALWAYS WORK, IT'S OFF AND ON. THE CHARGERS WORK JUST FINE IN THE HOUSE SO IT'S NOT THE CORDS ITSELF. WAS SHOWN THE CARFAX BEFORE BUYING AND THERE ARE NO ACCIDENT REPORTS.
