I have problems with my wipers going on and right back off since the month I bought this vehicle in 2000. I cant get it fixed because noone knows why it does it. Just this week I had my fan relay module replaced, only to learn my transmission is now not worknig it stops at 3rd gear only to drop to 1 gear. While trying to get that fixxed they told me my water pump is leaking (which is ok and expected of most vehicles, ) I have had to have my dash light computer reset because all my ac dfrost and wiper lights were blinking continuously. I dont know what to do this is only a 97 model and I havent even made my final payment but now I have all these expensive repairs. I have had I tick in my motor that rattles on acceleratin forever and change my oil every 3 to 4000 miles like I should. I also have the winning in the steering the thump every so often but cant tell where that is coming from not to mention my A/C compressor rattles. My belt on my tensioner pully flu aff about 6 months ago going down the road I had to put a new pukky plus both new belts on. And they squeek like crazy. I dont think these are normal problems can you help it is getting to costly >"????"

The seems to have a lot of problem shifting to a lower gear when on the road. Often we can feel a jitter when the car is in motion and shifting the gear. The air bag light comes on often for no reason. Check engine light comes on and stays on for a few hours and goes away.

The transmission locked up, and caused the rear tires to lock up, which made it difficult to control vehicle.

The speedometer and odometer periodically stop working. It doesn't happen every time the car is started.
