I bought my car as a used vehicle and have had trouble since I bought it. I have had trouble with the motor, the air conditioner does not work, the cruise control does not work. When it was engaged it would jerk hard ( speed up then slow down) I have no dash lights when I turn on my headlights. My radio lights do not work either when I turn on my headlights. It is dangerous to drive. I need to know what to do to fix this problem. There is also a problem with the passenger door lock. You can not unlock it with the power locks.
