I loved this Ute. in the beginning, but
one problem has lead to another. First
there was electrical with the Radio.
Then they replaced it and we lost all
signal hhhmmmmmmmmmm. We put the old
one back in, and now I have memorized
the functions since I can't see them
anymore. The turn signal is now broken,
and I think there is a knock in the
Transmision. We are currently trying to
sell this PO_ and buy a car. We spent
19,000 on this car and a year later we
will be lucky to get 14,000 even more
pathetic.

Overall I've had a great experience
with this vehicle. Love the
versatility - have hauled all sorts of
things home with it - furniture, bags
and bags of mulch, mountains of
groceries - you name it. The front
seats are very comfortable, the leather
has worn well, don't know about the
back seats since I've never sat in them
but haven't had any complaints. Had a
few minor problems covered under
warranty - I have a great dealer so
they are always taken care of quickly,
plus a couple of recall items - the
windshield wiper problem and the
radio.

This has ben a bullet proof, reliable
vehicle on all accounts. Perfect
compromise of size, space, and fuel
efficiency. Other than the Firestone
tire debacle, the only service this
vehicle has required was oil and filter
changes.

The vehicle was great to drive, very
reliable. The problems started
occuring about 45,000. The windshield
wipers came on sporatically. Later
there was a recall for this problem.
After a few months of driving the LCD
radio light went out as well as the
horn. Before I had a chance to get
this fix less than a week later the car
caught fire while sitting in the
parking lot overnight. Determined to
be an eletrical fire. Buyer beware, I
beleive sometime in the near future
there may be another recall on these
models and year.

Have had this car for about 4 yrs.
Haven't had any problems until the past
month or so. Everything electrical is
acting up. Current probs: front/back
sprayer, back wipers, brights, back left
blinker, back right brake light, left
rear window all do not work. This seems
odd that all of these probs would happen
at once on a car that's not that old.
Anyone else have these sort of problems?

Overall excellent vehicle. I
experienced a minor irritant with the
top interior front door moldings. The
passenger side clip broke a couple
years ago, and I periodically have to
re-secure it.
The privacy screen objected when my
dachshund climbed on it when it was
deployed--but who would expect it not
to? My husband got it to work again,
but the retractor spring is weak.

I PURCHASED THIS SUV NEW AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT. I HAVE THE V6 ENGINE. I LOADED IT WITH ALL OF THE OPTIONS. THE ONLY OPTION THAT I DID NOT WANT WAS THE LEATHER SEATS. THEY ARE COLD IN THE WINTER, AND HOT IN THE SUMMER. THE CLOTH SEATS ALSO HELP TO CUT DOWN ON THE NOISE INSIDE THE SUV. THE AC AND HEATER ARE GREAT. THE RADIO IS THE BEST THAT I HAVE EVERY HAD. I ORDERED IT WITH THE TOW PACKAGE, SO WITH THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE ON I HAVE REAL 4 WHEEL DRIVE. (TOW PACKAGE GIVES YOU BOTH REAR WHEELS WORKING ALL THE TIME, THIS IS A VERY GOOD THING). ON THE OPEN ROAD I GET 23 MPG AND AROUND TOWN 16 MPG. I WOULD BUY ANOTHER.

ever since i have had this vechile it has been in and out of the shop.touble rattling in the motor, radio gone out, abs gone out, willnot stay started in the morning when its cold. it is the worse vechicle i've ever purchased. no one in the whole town like the suv. they hate they purchased it. it looks good and have great features but the motor is awful. and thats what really count. i think the worse thing is when you put it in the shop they can't even fix the problem.
