I have problems with the speed control, turn signals freeze while in use, transmission leaks and works in 2nd gear better than 1st gear, both back break shoes and bearings needs replaced, front cracked windshield, both side windows are broken and engine warning light stays on 24/7. All this is driving on streets and highways etc,.
