ok i have had my car in the dealer 5 times. first time it was my valves needed to be adjusted they were way to loud. second i was storing the car for the winter and about once a week i would start it and let it warm up while i listen to some tunes and armor all the dash then i got a burning smell electrical so i quickly shut the car off took out my pen light and went on a hunt it was strongest by the radio put the light over the cd slot and there was smoke it was so hot it melted the shiney stuff off my lp cd took it to the dealer replaced it free. 3. took it back b/c i couldnt get it into 3rd w/o grinding five speed ex the guy tood me i didnt know how to drive stick now listen what he told me "when you drive stick you have to depress the clutch to INGAGUE the clutch to get it into the next gear"

ive been driving stick ever sence i got my licences sence im a mechanic i drive cars all day and under stand that you disingague a clutch by pushing in the pedel. this is the guy working on my car! he took my car and had it for two hours it shifts fine now but he wouldnt tell me what he did no p.o nothing. shifts fine im happy.then my latest endevour #4. my air bag light came on and wouldnt go off so i took it over and they told me it was the sat safing sensor took it back one week later he repaired/replaced the sensor when he was finished he rushed in to the waiting room to give me my key gave me the papers and a paper for a free car wash and took off .no light

i took the car home and put it in to the garage a week later of no driving 0 miles loged i open the doors to pull it out unlock the door get in and guess what is glowing in my face you guessed it the light of a little mans face getting owned by a air bag. and i noticed a spot in the front bumper that looks like a crease in the bumper its hard to see but you can feel it if you run you hands over it is it to late to bring this to there attention because its been there the whole time ive owned it.should i trade it in for a diff model or what would you do? 6,819 acc miles had it ABOUT one year.

You said it yourself...."trade it in" or sell it!! Either keep dealing with the headaches or rid yourself of the annoyence!! Too bad your not having major problems (like your car is accelerating on its own) and you could shoot for a lemon if they couldn't fix it!!
Get a new car and DRIVE it!!!
Good Luck....
