I purchased this vehicle used from a reputable dealer. All repairs are well documented. Over the last 2 years there have been recurring problems with overheating that no one was able to diagnose. My husband went out to start the car after it had been sitting for approximately 12 hours and the engine burst into flames. Thank goodness there was a snow bank or our house would have been a loss as well. Through the internet I have discovered a recall for symptoms that we have experienced, without repair, but are listed in recall information. We are getting the run around about how to pursue repairing the vehicle under the recall provisions.

In June of 2002 my A/C compressor "froze" leaving me without my air conditioner during June, July, and part of August. I had the compressor and other components fixed at the end of August at the cost of $504. I got to use my A/C for a whole 3 weeks until the weather cooled off! now (May 2003), my A/C doesn't work again! apparently there is a leaky H-valve and other components that need to be replaced at the cost of $680. I refuse to shell out any more money for this piece of crap car as this is my 3rd complaint to NHTSA.

Estimated cost $2000.
