Faults:

Check engine light would come on, and my transmission would start slamming gears. Had the code checked out, and it came up as my O2 sensors. Had them replaced, only to have my car do the same thing 20 minutes after I drove it out of the garage. Took it back to run the code again, and this time it came up as a high-pressure solenoid in the tranny, so then I took it to a shop that specializes in transmissions, and found out that the gears were worn out and my torque converter was almost completely stripped. Altogether, just that problem cost me almost $2000, and that's on top of the front stabilizer bars having to be replaced (though that had been a problem since I drove off the lot with it), and the front axle shaft having to be resealed twice within a 6-month time frame.

The environmental systems inside the car are a bit wonky, but function well enough. The only other issues that I see are needing to be addressed are the rear control arms, which are so badly worn that my alignment is completely thrown out until I get them fixed (another $1200), and the engine pulley bolt, which is wobbling fairly badly.

Aside from all these technical problems, it's actually a fairly reliable car, which sports a decent amount of power and is quite comfortable.

Faults:

A/C compressor, bearings.

General Comments:

Performance wise this car is a beast!

Decent audio system, that if you don't turn the bass all the way up, you shouldn't blow the speakers.

Handling is great on these cars, as well as acceleration from any speed.

I find the trac control annoying, and the cruise control very sensitive.

A few costly repairs, but as long as the car holds up, I will be very happy with it.

Like I said, the performance is amazing for a V6. My next car will be a Challenger though, and I will probably pass this to my daughter when she turns 17.

Faults:

Started needing a lot of anti freeze; light kept coming on.

The computer quit after the first year; needed to be replaced.

The transmission was slamming into gear - told it was the sensors that needed to be replaced.

I traded it in for a nice Camry.

It only had 42,000 miles on it. Bought it new for 20,000. The dealer gave me 3,500 for it.

What a loss.

General Comments:

Not a good car.

Redding ca. Had no dealerships here; had to go 3 hours north to Oregon.

Faults:

Oil cooler cover leak, weird auto climate control system.

General Comments:

Decent overall car, more attention to quality control would have helped greatly. This car is maintenance intensive and must be kept in top running order, and parts are incredibly expensive. Although once understood, it is a very easy car to work on. Timing belt on the V6 must be changed at 100,000 miles, or expect to rebuild the heads, not a cheap proposition.
