THE VEHICLE HAS HAD COMPLICATIONS RELATING TO THE ITEMS I CHECKED OFF SINCE I PURCHASED IT. EVERY YEAR IT BRAKES DOWN AND VERY OTHER YEAR I STRUGGLE WITH SMOG TEST PASSING DUE TO THE ONGOING FAILURES RELATED IN THESE AREAS. IT'S BEEN VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR FAILURE AFTER FAILURE AND IT'S A NEVER ENDING PROBLEM IN THESE SPECIFIC AREAS. THE ISSUES ARE PRESENTS WHEN I'M DRIVING IT AND WHEN I DON'T DRIVE IT THE VEHICLE DOESN'T TURN ON UNTIL I CHANGE SYSTEM FAILURE SENSORS.
