Multi function switch is defective. When using the right turn signal it makes the windshield wipers turn off, and the windshield wiper fluid will not come out.

The key insert does not align, have had 2 transmissions in 5 years. (I know to check my fluids) new engine, & the paint is awful. Engine, motor, gas, gasps and jerks with me. Have had motor mounts replaced, nothing helps. Heater coil(?) went out, I have no heat now. We had to bypass. The rest I have not been able to afford to repair. I hate this car. I am worried everytime I get in it that my mother and I are not going to get home. I have had the car towed so many times, the man who does the towing knows me and my car on sight. I will not go more than 30 miles fromt he house. My mechanic even hates the car. I call him an angel, because he has kept it running.

Prior to purchase the dealer never disclosed to the consumer that the vehicle had a remanufactured engine installed in it, within the first week of owning the vehicle the consumer noticed that the vehicle required about tow quarts of oil every several days and the oil light was constantly illuminating while driving, the dealer refused to provide any assistance stating that the vehicle was sold as is.

Bought car used, as is. Inquired about recalls, etc. Told there were none. Salesman said he ran carfax & nothing showed up. Asked if engine was original engine, any major mechanical problems, etc. Was told "no". Purchased car @ bill penney toyota. First day door handle came off, underside driver's seat track cover came off & sunroof came open & wouldn't shut. Paneling fell off. 1st week the oil light came on - car began using 2 qts of oil every 2-3 days. Took back to dealership. Told it had a new engine & shouldn't be having problems. Oil consumption test run. Began checking car's history. Found previous owner bought the car 4-2000 & the dealership bought it back 6-2000. Head gasket changed 3x. The dealership sent car to woody anderson ford. Had a new engine put in it (they say). Bill penney kept car 1 week. Said problem was under a mfg. Warranty on the engine although they sold me a warranty for $1,000 for what was already under warranty. They sent car to woody anderson ford; ford kept it for a week. Then called & told me to pick it up; there wasn't anything wrong w/it. Had to rent a car. Warranty sts they provide one. Car is not fixed. It's a recurring problem from original owner. Engine put in car never put on record. 4 VIN #'s have been used on paperwork. Met with previous owner. All faults I had w/car she had as well. Dealership says my tough luck; maybe I learned a lesson. Mfg. Won't fix. Denies problem.
