What owners say
I purchased this car in 09/01 it has been a problem ever since. Front end needed to be rebuilt at 1200 miles and then again at 2000 miles. Air conditioner has been a constant problem (I was told I needed to park some place else) the manifold gaskets had to be replaced at 48000 miles and now the wiper switch has gone bad. The front end feels real bad, but they claim there is nothing wrong. Just waiting for the front end to fall out from underneath the car on a hot, rainy, july morning. I'm going back to ford. Oh yeah forgot, paint went bad 1 year after I bought it. Gm says I drove through something.
Windsheld wipers park straight up vertical. Heater resistor failed. Check engine light always on. Steering wheel rattles when cornering slowly. Light always on saying antifreeze low despite it not being low. Too much bass in radio rough shifts. Brake pads done at 70,000km seems to be falling apart as soon as warranty was up.
Turn signals will not work when windshield wipers are operating.
Turning signals will intermittently stop working. Only way they come back on is when turning on windshield wipers. Contacted dealer, and the dealer is not willing to do anything.
