| The key insert does not align, have had 2 transmissions in 5 years. (i know to check my fluids) new engine, & the paint is awful. engine, motor, gas, gasps and jerks with me. have had motor mounts replaced, nothing helps. heater coil(?) went out, i have no heat now. we had to bypass. the rest i have not been able to afford to repair. i hate this car. i am worried everytime i get in it that my mother and i are not going to get home. i have had the car towed so many times, the man who does the towing knows me and my car on sight. i will not go more than 30 miles fromt he house. my mechanic even hates the car. i call him an angel, because he has kept it running. | |||

| I have had other problems with this car feul pump replaced , new head put on car, transmission screen and filter replaced because of leakage, brakes replaced rotors turned, broken motor mount, rear axle loose. squealing noise on passanger side when turning or going around a curve. the transmission on this car also i think has a problem it hesitates when you first crank up the car it won' t go it acts like you are in neutral for a few seconds then it goes. i have also had some type of collant ring around the timing chain replaced the engine would get hot and start smoking it smelled like anti-freeze . most of the repair work has been done under the extended warrenty but this car does have problems. | |||
