I bought the car in 2007 and from the start there were problems. The over drive light pops on and off, keeps overheating even after had full fluid flush, replaced old battery with new one and car continues to shut off, takes 10 min to start. I got it fixed in March of 2008 for the problems stated above and again in Sept 2008 for same problems but with a different company. They said its because 2 out of the 4 cylinders are really low. If that's the case why didn't the other company advise me of that same problem. Now the car won't start. I have talked with other people with the same car nd they are having the same problem. The last serious issue was the car shut off while I was driving on the interstate with my 4 year old and 1 year old. I was lucky enough that I was able to pull over to side of road and restart it and go home.

Temperature was very hot on the car after driving approximately 1 mile. No fluid in radiator. Refilled only to realize a slow leak. Took it to dealer for repair. They couldn't find a leak but said it had to do with the temperature gauge, so it was replaced. 2 days after the repair, the same problem has arisen. Have contacted them again to determine what to do. Sometimes the car goes from normal reading to hot, and suddenly returns to normal. I have added approx. 1 gallon of fluid every 2 days for the past week. Worried about possible engine damage and stalling in traffic.
