I bought my car at a used dealership and the lady told me she couldn't say or sure how it would do, but I chose to buy it anyway. This car awesome!!!! There is an electrical problem though and we cant seem to figure it out. At first we thought it was a fuse but can't find any bad. This whole fuse box thing is very confusing too. Even my hubby who is a mechanic is baffled with this one...LOL. Any suggestions?
Poor integrity

Bought car used. Needed to refurbish transmission, and replace a couple of seat belts. Later realized that the indoor courtesy light didn't always turn off because the car thought a door was open, even thought it wasn't. 2 years later I had to get the transmission refurbished again. The seat belts twist and get stuck all the time. Finally ended up pulling out all the indoor courtesy bulbs to deal with light issue. Car doesn't have much pep, especially going uphill. Rear blade eventually stopped functioning as well as A/C. Stereo not working that great since 2005.
ok car, Transmission problems!!

Alright So I'm a new driver. I love this car. Out of any car I have driven this has been the most fun. The best part is is the profomance. It can beat mustangs, and alot of V6 Engine cars. It never stops to amaze me. All the time we have had it we did not have a single problem. The A/C is not working right, but that is a lose wire nothing more. This car has close to 80,000 miles on it, and to think its lasted through me. I drive it into the ground.
