why are you driving around with a new car knowing there is an issue? just take it in dude fix it and then you can let us know what it was.

Im workin on getting it to the dealer BUT (read on)

i tell em what the deal is and they say well its intermittant so they cant figure it out... that is why i am asking here to see if anyone else has a GOOD dealer that has told them what the problem is... ive had elec issues with this car since a week or 2 after i got it and they dont fix any of the major problems..., just the little stuff....



for instance,


Problem = battery wasnt holding a charge

Fix = Charge the batt. problem still exists

seen the SAME dealer about this 2 times...

This problem hasnt been taken to them yet but i work from 6 am to about 6 pm so i dont have time to get to the dealer till a major issue happens, such as the car no longer running (im on bad terms with the boss so i
have to have a good reason to not show )

I had similar problems with my dash lights. Turned out to be the ignition cylinder.
