Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
I was driving on the highway at 50mph in the rain and my windshield wipers quit working. I had them in the low speed setting. It happened again after the motor had a chance to cool off and they were turned back on. I have not yet attempted to replace any components.
Vehicle hesitated while driving eventually stalling . Had vehicle in 6 different repair shops. We have had it tuned up, replaced plug wires, sensors, and distributor among other things. The vehicle will drive fine for a few days or weeks and then the same problem will occur.
