| I bought the vehicle 2 months ago. since then i have put $750 into repairs and have estimates for $1000 more worth of repairs. the manufacturers problems included a rear main oil seal leak, an oil pan gasket leak, and a distributor switch leak. there was also a bent wheel, damaged tire, and bad starter. the dealer (dick morris chevrolet) will do nothing to fix it. *jb | |||

| 4 (out of 5) broken lug studs on one wheel. one lug nut/stud was already broken when going to change pads/rotor. removing remaining 4 lugs, 3 of them broke off (almost as if they were cross threaded). *la | |||

| The thread on the wheel studs gets shredded, due to corrosion. this is caused by a design flaw in the crown covers, which allows moisture and road salt to get into the thread, and seize up the lug nuts. consequently when the tires are removed or rotated the thread strips, per an engineer.*ak | |||
