Faults:
Interior began to show wear rather quickly. Plastic trim very cheaply made, seats made from thin fabric that does not hold up well to normal use.
At 28000 miles we had to replace all four General XP 2000 gold seal tires because the side walls delaminated. General replace tires, but we had to pay for mounting ($52.00) Service department at Sears (authorized warranty center) failed to tighten lug nuts, They came loose and damaged the lugs and one front wheel. ($180.00)
At 30000 miles coolant began leaking into engine from a bad head gasket.
At 34000 miles right rear brake wheel cylinder began to leak, ruined brake shoes which are not covered by warranty. ($35.00)
At a little more that 46000 miles the oil pump self destructed and took the rest of the engine with it. ($4000.00+)
A series of electrical problems haunted us from the very beginning. The head lights would collect water and blow the bulbs, left tail light shorted out and melted the light socket, both turn signal indicators would flash when making a right turn.
