I have truly been disappointed in this car. It has been nothing but trouble. The complaints are the main ones. However, they happened several times. I had actually contemplated on checking out the lemon law, but didn't know how to go about it. The check enging light kept coming on and they couldn't find the problem ,this finally was fixed after 6 months of repeated problems with it. A year later the check engine light came on again, because of previous problem I waited an extra mile to pull off. My engine was blown ! I had hit a bump, which inturn punctured the oil filter. I am really unhappy with this vehicle.
