Faults:

Two transmission modules at $600 each.

Electrical problems galore, from the electric locks locking and unlocking by themselves, to the trunk popping open at highway speeds.

Gauge lights no longer work.

Ridiculous battery placement.

General Comments:

I purchased this car used for a very good price with just 41000 miles on it. One owner, car faxed right with no accidents. I thought I was getting a bargain, I heard the popping of champagne corks as I was ready to take ownership. I'm kidding of course, but I wouldn't blame them.

It's good money chasing bad as my father says to me every time I replace something. Crazy things happen all the time. I put gas in the car, start it to drive away, and it won't go into gear. Stupid stuff like that, very aggravating.

Faults:

Transmission went out at 65000 miles.

Air conditioner went out at 75000 miles.

Computer sensor (or brain of the car) went out at 100000 miles.

Computer sensor went out again at 135000 miles.

Car used oil starting at 125000 miles.

Fuel pump went out at 141000 miles.

Blew a head gasket at 141000 miles.

Car rode rough and needed struts at 100000 miles.

General Comments:

Very roomy car, good for a large family.

Very poor reliability from 65000 miles on.

Numerous times when the car would not start.

Rough ride, poor suspension system.

Would not recommend this car to anyone.

Faults:

Car is getting stuck in third gear.

The engine is building up sludge.

General Comments:

This is a common problem that should have been taken care of.

I started having this problem and took it to one mechanic who said it was a sensor in the transmission, and to take it to a transmission place. I took the car to Mr. Transmission and was told the transmission needed to be rebuild. I told them to check the speed sensor and the TCM. I ended up paying $1800 for them to rebuild the transmission, and as soon as I left the place it got stuck in third again. Obviously they did not check or replace the sensor. I wounder if I even needed my trans reworked at all. I do have three month warranty and will take it back, but to what avail?

Faults:

The first thing to go wrong with it was the voltage regulator; when the car reached a certain temperature, it just shut down the entire electrical system in the car.

The second thing was the air compressor. After that was the engine where a rocker arm had broke and it is when I learned that it was a common problem with that particular engine. When I replaced the engine, radiator and the compressor, the AC still didn't work properly and that's when I was told the J-tube was clogged.

General Comments:

I loved the performance of the car and the design.

It was just problem after problem that led me to trade it away.
