| How a vehicle that only has approximately 22,900 miles on it and was bought new can be taken to the shop over 16 times already with major issues. at 1,734 miles the radiator hose/outlets/injector fuel had to be replaced, at 7,749 miles and several trips replaced pads, disc brakes, rotors (both sides) after finding break line off from factory, at 12,275 miles replaced prime pump/gasket/spacer, at 12,913 miles replaced both sway bars and bushings/glass & regulator on passenger front door, at 17,163 miles replaced power steering hose, at 17,812 miles had to replace rotors & brakes both sides (3rd set on vehicle), at 20,662 replaced cowl clip/sealed up front windshield/replaced sway bar(3rd set on vehicle), at 20,900 replaced hose/vapor canister. at 22,422 replaced sop/cowl panel. the above issues have all been done during the dates 04-07-03 to 07-20-05. our concern is if any other complaints have come in on the same issue or is it possible this is just a bad vehicle. it seems to be in the shop every 2 to 3 months. also, since the brakes/rotors/sway bar continue to be replaced our concern it that sometime it may fail and result in injury or death. seems the pieces that are being replaced have had to be replaced several times, making us question if something on the vehicle is off in the building of this vehicle to cause such wear and tear on main items that you use to steer and move the vehicle with. the old parts are not available, we did try to ask the dealer for the old brakes but was advised they could not give as they need to have a evidence to get the 1st set paid for and the 2nd set was set up for us to pay a portion of the bill. *nm | |||
