What owners say
While driving could step on the brakes pedal and brakes will not stop on time.*ak possible engine failure caused check the engine light to illuminate during rain. Brakes make a wailing sound. Back up lights failed. Lights on radio failed. Head gasket leaks.
When driving check engine light illuminated on the dash. Vehicle started operating roughly. Consumer contacted dealer, dealer linked the problem to the engine head gasket which blew out. Please provide any further details.
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.
Each time cruise control is repaired the check engine light comes on within a few days and the gauges fail and the head lights blow and the cruise control fails again.
Car would not start. Instrument panel malfunctioning. Check engine light. Electrical failures. Owner wants a replacement car.
