CarComplaints.com Notes: How can we give the 2001 model year a "seal of pretty good" when it has some problems with a slipping transmission and a known problem with the speed activation control switch? Because it's not the 2002. That's how.

Out of no where, my #10 fuse keeps shorting. I've had our mechanic look at it several different times. It controls my turn signals, rear defrost, temperature display, (and maybe 4WD). My heat didn't work on one occasion, too. About 30 blown chips later, still no fix. I have to purchase a wiring and vacuum diagram for about $60 to find where it is shorting. Until then, I can't drive my car without turn signals!
