 I was looking for a car good on gas , low miles, nice sporty looking, found it at dealership for $12,999, thought I had hit the jackpot. Purchased in May and in July noticed a rattling noise , it was pulling when driving, was hard to tell when it changed gears. In Sept, the a/c started blowing hot air and on a 6 hr trip, the car started losing power, rpm was high, was making whining noise, was struggling to change gears. The car was still under warranty so took to the shop, had to replace A/C condenser unit , had to pay deductible, then had to get wrecker to pick up and take to another place because the transmission was stuck in 2nd gear .They had to put in another transmission and welded the pipe which was causing the rattling. Had to pay another deductible. A week later, car will not change gears and fluid is leaking like crazy, had to get another wrecker to take back to dealership found out there was a problem with seal . 2 weeks later, check engine light came on, problem with sensor, last week check engine light came back on, problem with computer. At this point I am beyond frustrated, I tried trading it in on something else, but right now am so upside down that I cant afford anything so am just stuck with it and looking for a way out. It is now June 2017 and I just got my car back out of the shop again to replace bad struts, had to get a loaner car while it was in the shop and had to pay another deductible. My warranty will run out soon and I can only imagine the expense I will incur  after it has expired. I still owe $12k for this car and I just checked the Kelly blue book for the value of this car and it states trade in is about $5k. So I am still so upside  its ridiculous and in order for me to trade this car in as a down payment on something else, I was told I would have to put at least $5-6k down. This has just been unreal and I wish there was some way I could go after the dealership for this headache.
