I purchased the car with only 21106 miles on it and I have replaced a lot of hardware on this car. Every time I took my car back to the dealer they would not give me a car and the car was usually there for two days. I had to walk to work which was not really bad, but it was a good that I live a mile and a half from work. I have had to borrow my sister's car a couple of times because I have to travel. I have replaced wheel bearings , bushings, struts, and three set of tires on the back of the back of the car in a year and five months time. And currently I need to take it back because there is a lot of noise when I hit a bump. When I had the struts replaced the front end made squeaking noises. Called the dealership and the manager stated that it may take a couple of days for the struts to be seated. But it still makes the noise. All repairs were done before the car had 19000 miles. I also replaced power steering pump and valve cover gasket. There is still some problem because when I turn on the heat there is some odor. The back end still is making some noises and I have to replace another tire on the passenger rear. That would be four tires in a year and a half.
