I have taken this car to charlie thomas service dept. Multiple times for repairs on this throttle body that sticks open and accelerates my vehicle to where I have to slam on the brakes. There is a recall for the injection system that causes the throttle body to become "carboned up" but the service dept will not honor this recall. I am also having problems with the brakes and the service dept says this is normal. They are making a very loud squealing noise when I first start driving, yet they charged me to repair the problem and then tell me that it is normal. Who do I contact to see about being reimbursed for those charges. I would like to also report that my car has a water leak that took them almost 2 1/2 weeks to locate and it has ruined my carpet padding. Who do I report this to. The leak was coming from the trunk. I would like to report this service dept to the correct organization about their service. I am quite sure it is not normal to have my accelerator stick while I am driving yet that is what this service dept is saying is normal when the car is cold. Well it happens when the car has warmed up and been driven for awhile. Thank you for reading my complaint and please contact me via email, phone, or mail.

Horn is located above the front left tire well. The horn fails when it gets wet. Living and working in the low country, it is hard not to drive through flooded areas since it floods everytime it rains. When I go through a flooded area (flooded being not more than 1 foot) water gets into the horn and it stops working. I cannot always avoid these areas, especially if the entire road is under water. I should not have to replace the horn after every storm we get. The car is still under warranty, so I havent had to pay anything yet. I feel that they should move the horn to a safer, dryer area in the car.
