I purchased the vehicle in 2002 and three years later I've spent thousands in repairs. I've had to replace the brakes (just once so far, so I guess I'm luckier than others), the power steering pump, the gas sensor (ran out but gauge said it had 1/4 tank), and the blinkers were recalled. There is also a lot of road noise so it's not a quiet ride.
Piece of junk, I mean real crap!!!!!!

I loved the exterior of the car and it drove great the first six months I had it. The best decision I ever made was to buy the extended warranty because had I not I would have spent about $4,000 dollars on this car. It's been to the shop 3X in the past 4 mo. I've repaired the ignition coil module, fuel injector, spark plugs, A/C resistor blower (2X), blinker recall problem, broken a/c knob, window motor and regulator (not just one, but all 4 windows!!), side mirror fell off, ignition switch, pass lock cylinder, body control module, some sort of connectors and computer body replacement, and I've had it towed 2X!! I can't wait to sell this piece of scrap metal, but the resale value stinks!

When I bought the car, it was just a few months old. It had been a fleet car and had only 11,000 miles on it. The main problem I have had is with the electrical system. It has gone out countless times at almost $400 a pop to get it fixed. The dash warning lights all come on at any given time, but then I can shut it off and restart it and they go out. The passenger side mirror fell off. The brakes need replacing every year. The drivers side power window went out. I was driving down the highway at 70 mph. and it just quit for no apparent reason. Of course it had no power steering or brakes, so that was fun trying to pull off the road. Also my CD player went out within a year of purchase.
