What kind of car do you have? I'm sorry it's breaking down on you.

That stinks. We try and shy away from domestic cars if possible.

Is it under warranty? I hope so..

Generally, Chevys are good, I used to have an Equinox (which I LOVED) and now I have my work car which is a Malibu (which is great too).

domestic or not - I never had any luck with my cars

I had a Jeep last and the last year I had it nothing but problems Chat Icon

It just stinks - cause the most beautiful days out and all I can do it go out with the kid with the stroller Chat Icon

Mine is a lease too - this one is at least not the car before.

I just don't get why I would have any problems with it when I only got it last July - it has only 10,000 miles on it.

me too- I just look at them and say fix it

but if you keep having problems- tell them you think it's a lemon and want another one

it worked for me- my last lease kept having the same major problem over and over again

I told them I didn't want it anymore- I didn't feel safe and it wasn't reliable

I was able to get out of the lease- as long as I got the same car or a $$$ one
(which I did b/c I went from a sedan to a SUV)

but it was worth it and knock one wood- 1 year later- not a problem!

I have NO luck with vaccuums so I know where you are coming from (even though yours is MUCH more frustrating). I take care of all the vacuums I have had, cleaned them out each use and I STILL have to buy new ones every 2 years.

My brandnew Trailblazer broke down on the way home from the dealership!!!! Chat Icon and then 2x in the following 3 weeks. I couldn't wait to get rid of it. By far the crappiest car I had.
