My air conditioner went out (entire system) just after having it a year, i then proceeded to have to have the transmission replaced, along with many many other small parts, such as idler pully, water pump, etc, all before my extended warranty was up. just after my extended warranty was up at 80,000 miles i had to replace my radiator. my engine was babied, my husband changed the oil faithfully every 2500 miles, changed air filters, flushed the transmission, anything to maintain the vehicle, because by this time i was traveling far to work everyday, (35miles 1 way), so i have put a lot of highway miles on it, then without warning the headgasket blew, sending antifreeze into the engine. if i had known about the problems they were having, i would have had it taken care of, since i didn't i missed a lot of work and had to buy a new car, since the expense of repair wasnt worth it. this car has been a complete lemon, and i have the $6000 worth of warranty work as proof, plus the engine blowing. *ak | |||

We noticed the problem after we had a strong gas smell in the garage. the fuel rail assembly on the fuel injection system just started to leak gas. we took the car to the local dealership for repair. they stressed to us on the phone that the car should not be driven due to the chance of explosion and fire cuased by the leaking fuel in the engine compartment. *ak | |||
