I am sorry to hear that, this is a real LEMON, I also bought the 'bu in August of of 2006, so far no problem yet. Canada doesn't LEMON law but they have something called BBB (Business Bereau ????), I am not sure, you can double check. Did you buy brand new or used ?

I bought it used.. I confirmed it was a local trade with the previous owner. There is the BBB in the area, but I dont think its the vehicle itself. I belive its the car.

I suspect this is a rental car, you know, people don't care when they drive a loaner
