| Since we purchased this vehicle new we have replaced the battery twice, the clutch, fly wheel, slave cylinder,three times, a coolant leak fixed, the window motor and it is currently at the repair shop. we also have had to replace all four tires and have the vehicle aligned. the air bag light is also on at this time. the thing that makes me angry is that a service technician has seen or vehicle twice and said our vehicle was fine. so, why did the clutch go out 10 days later? *jb | |||

| I bought this car in july 2002. it now only has alittle over 8,000 miles. since i have had this auto i have had to have the doors realigned because they would not close. the radio would just go out. they replaced the radio but 3 months later it happened again except this time the a/c would not put out cold air properly. come to find out if i cut the a/c off, the radio would come back on. the last few trips to the dealership i had to leave my car for the day. they checked out everything and could not find anything to cause it to be doing what it does. they did change the battery because the car was dying on me at any given time. i've had 3 different recalls sent to me. | |||
