| Multiple problems with this car since purchase. unknown engine failure problem (dealership was unable to pinpoint problem), transmission sensors failed, rotors replaced 8 times in 4 years, black tar coming from doors, numerous alignment problems, and the big problem - the seat belt buckles keep failing. passenger side replaced by dealership under warranty. driver side now failing as well. huge safety hazard! dealership says car not under warranty.*jb | |||

| The exterior door handles keep breaking while opening the door. there are 2 plastic pieces on each side of the door handle that ( when pulled up to open the door from the outside ) they are attached to the equipement inside the door panel that released the latch and opend the door. those two plastic pieces keep breaking,therefore not allowing the door hinges to release and open the door. i replaced the driver side in early 2002 ( a dealer item only and cost $ 90.00 without instillation ). two weeks ago, the passenger side broke and i tried to fix it (by placing a screw between the two plastic pieces and then applying super glueing over the screw). today the (new) driver side broke while i was out shopping ( same pieces as the first time ) i went to the passenger side of the car and i broke as well ( but this time it held where i super glued it ) , the complete outside bar (that rises while opening the door) broke off in my hand. the only way i was able to get into my car was to slide my arm down the inside of the window ( since i had left them cracked ). i currently cannot open either door from the outside unless my windows are rolled down. *ak | |||
