What owners say
I have had to replace the transmission. The inside interior dash and overhead light come on and off when they want to. The dash flashes, when I open the doors sometimes the lights come on and sometimes they don't. The headlights automatic timer when shut off doesn't always work. The right axel on the passingers side needs to be replaces very lose. Automatic locks for the 2 back doors don't work.
Transmission failure at 78,000. Almost caused me to have an accident.
Leaks fuel directly over engine, extremely dangereous! Recall this also! This car also is our second intrepid to have catastrophic transmission failure to be covered under warrenty.
