The car has had continous problems with the air conditioning and overheating. 3 or 4 times the car has been returned to me with the warning lights still on. Twice the car was returned to me and had to be towed back to the dealer the same day for overheating. The car has now been in the dealership over 5 weeks, 2 new wiring harnesses, the original harness put back in, and still is over heating. The dealer and the manufacturer have been contacted daily since the problem began in May. No effort to replace/buy back/trade my car has been accepted. Dealer never returns phone calls or calls when promised. Vehicle used for work (catering) and given small loaner car that is unacceptable for business. Dealer has no respect for consumer and does not provide service demanded for this price vehicle. Was also told this was dealer demonstrator and found out it was purchased at auction.
Consumer received recall 00V328000/ engine coolant system failure in Jan 2001. Contacted closest dealer, pioneer center, san diego, ca which was 150 miles away, made appointment. Had to wait 3 weeks.
