Whenever vehicle is taken in for a oil change there is never any oil in the crankcase. An independent mechanic diagnosed an internal oil leak in engine. Vehicle is running rough and sluggish. Oil light has just started coming on. Dealer is aware, but would like to diagnose the problem.

Engine consumes too much oil, every one thousand miles has to add a quater of oil, and was burning oil too fast. Dealer was contacted, and they said that it was fine.

2 occurrences; while traveling hwy speeds, sudden loss of power, engine check light comes on. The dealer hasn't been able to figure it out. This is extremely dangerous since it's only done it at hwy speeds, 60 to 70mph. There is no warning for vehicles behind you and you have to get over to shoulder of the roadway with limited power.

I have received a recall notice for a radiator fan relay, which is not mentioned on your site. Today, I found a new leak of transmission fluid, the red lights are again flashing on and off, there are power surges in the control panels, the engine chokes and shudders. Oh, and the A/C is out again. We won't even mention the windhield wipers which have continually gone on and off since we have owned this car, or the airbag alarms, or the incredible amount of money we have put into this maintained car. My 20,000 car has become a 40,000 lemon. There is simply no excuse for this, mileage or not. I have attempted to keep this car because I wanted a "safe" car for my teenagers to drive. Now, it appears I have them driving the pinto of the 1990's. I thought I was keeping my kids safe!! when the engine failed, I had the car taken to an non dealer becuase I am fed up with their attitudes...what do you expect at 100,000 miles, etc. When the first diagnostic was ran on the car, a bewildering array of codes came up. After changing the spark plugs, all of the codes dissapeared. However, the electrical problems increased in intensity, and now I'm afraid my daugher will go up in a fireball. I already assume there will be no response from the manufacturer....I am going to consider a suit as I consider these cars dangerous! fuel leaks, static charge buildups? come on!
