| 4 fuel pumps, 2 transmissions have been replaced,has a 3.8 engine in it, it is suppose to have a 3.1 engine in it,relay switch replaced at which time found that electrical system had been running higher than it should have the whole time we owned the car, 1 antilock brake system motor in result of electrical, 1 vacuum manifold, to top it of we found out the car was built on a friday! what luck ? the car was taken to the dealer for the first two fuel pumps that failed/we think because of the electrical system not put in right. my mechanic has stated that the car has a pickup engine in it instead of what it should. my husband & i are very disappointed in this car & the manufacture that built this car so poorly!! *ak | |||
