I bought this car used in the November 2001. With in 31 days the brakes started squealing took in for service was told that the brakes were shot and need replaced. This cost me $86. I went back on the dealer where purchased and he paid the other half. When I bought the car the windshield washer fluid tank had a hole in and had to be replaced this was covered under warranty and was in the shop at the same time with the brakes. They were to order the new tank when they had the car in for brakes and didn't I had to go back to get it installed. There was rear end noise that they told me was the control arm in the back, which the dealership told me that they would replace and it was covered under warranty. There was front end noise that they told me was the control arm on the drivers side and that there was a bushing that needed greased - that was covered under warranty. The molding on the side drivers doors was been put back on in October of 2001 before I purchased the car - the in September of 2002 it started coming off again - when I tried to get it in to be repaired at the dealership that did the work they couldn't get it in before the one year warranty expired - so I super glued it. In March 2003 the front end noises have come back so bad that it sounds like a old bed spring and no mechanic can seem to figure out where the noise is coming from or what is causing it. When my car was in the shop for this one of the censors in the front drivers side went bad and cost me $489. The brakes where also shot and need rotors turned because the dealership that put the brakes on back in 2001 put brake pads on warped rotors. When it rains and you are driving it sounds like the back passenger door is opened or the window is down. 6/30/03 the front end noise are still there - the passenger side reclining seat arm has broken off - the knob that turns the heat/air/defrost has broken off. I am the only person who drives this car. I still owe over $11,000 on this car.
