CarComplaints.com Notes: How can we give the 2001 model year a "seal of pretty good" when it has some problems with a slipping transmission and a known problem with the speed activation control switch? Because it's not the 2002. That's how.

Just completed 20 mile interstate drive, pulled into parking lot and heard a thump, stepped out to see the problem and right front wheel was cocked at 45 degree angle while left was straight. Vehicle towed to dealer and repaired. There was no indication of any problem beforehand.if assembly had failed 5 minutes earlier, could have resulted in serious accident or fatality.
