| I bought this car in 1998 and have had to fix it myself many times. i cannot afford to pay someone to fix it. but if there has ever been a lemon it is this car. i have to say the motor is a good one. but every thing surrounding it is junk. at this time it is in my moms garage and i'm still making payments on it and can't even drive it. right now it needs: 1.) timing belt 2.) wiring problem under dash-dome lights on all the time, a/c controls won't work properly. 3.) inner tie rods need replaced again-(4th time) 4.) spark plug wires go bad in about 12 months.(the good ones). 5.) tires are going bad every 6 months because of tierods. 6,) parking brake cable broke. 7.) catalytic converter. 8.) fuel rail o-rings need replaced. when it was running it was constantly dying on me while driving and while idling, and finally the other day (after replaceing the coil pack and an ignition relay) it died and wouln't restart at all.........................what can or will you do about this lemon that i have had to constantly fix for the whole 4 years that i have owned the car//???????????????? | |||
