Front brakes and rotors had to be replaced on April 2001. Brakes had to be replaced again in October. Consumer states that brakes and rotors were replaced again at 9468 miles and again at 15500 miles. Check engine light illuminated due to faulty fuel control valve within the fuel tank. Radio changer would get hot and would not change stations, dealer replaced the radio. Vehicle experienced an exhaust leak, dealer replaced the muffler.

I have had to have a power steering, rack and pinion, 4 sets of brakes going on 5. I have had to have my tires rotated more times than necessary. The brakes makes a grinding, rattling noise when I try to stop. When I press on the brakes it doesn't stop quickly. The gaskets around the door ifs falling off. The radio will shut off for no reason. The heater works when it's hot outside. The windshield was leaking. It has since been repaired. Sometimes the car wont crank after sitting for a while it will crank. The engine light comes on. The glove box fell apart. I have computer problems and wiring problems. The gears are hard to put in reverse and then when it finally pops into gear it makes a loud popping sound. It slow to put in drive and then it will take off real fast almost making you run into something.
