MY FIRST ISSUE WAS BACK IN FEBRUARY WITH A BLOWN CHARGEPIPE. THE CAR JUST LEFT ME STRANDED 50 MILES FROM HOME AND IT HAD TO BE TOWED BACK. ON JULY IT LEFT ME STRANDED AGAIN, IT WAS A BROKEN VANOS BOLT IN THE ENGINE. DURING THIS VISIT, I TOLD TO THE SA THE HARD TIME MY CAR WAS HAVING WHEN CRANKING EVERY MORNING FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS. I GOT THE CAR BACK, AND IT SEEMED THAT EVERYTHING WAS FIXED, BUT THE BATTERY. I WAS TOLD THAT THE BATTERY WAS DISCHARGED DUE TO OVER CRANKING WHEN I GOT STRANDED. TWO WEEKS LATER, THE CAR GAVE ME AN ENGINE WARNING
