| At 28,000 miles, the general tires that came w/the vehicle were completely bald & had to be replaced. they were supposed to be 80,000 mile tires & had been rotated numerous times, the cooling system: while on vacation, the cooling system overheated. told by dealer out of town that radiator cap loose & was tightened. 3 weeks later low coolant light kept coming on & took to dealer on 8/12/00. told coolant system dirty & needed to be flushed; $100.00. also told battery that came w/vehicle was leaking acid which also ruined battery positive cable. both needed to be replaced. said out of goodwill would not charge for battery cable but charged $98 for battery. brakes started to fail @ 11,000 miles, rotors cut @ 28,000 & told rotors not under warranty because not considered safety problem. rotors still warped & need cutting. brake light socket was melted to light & was fixed by dealer early on.( dot number: acm3kmi368 tire size: p215-70r15 ) | |||

| The headlight lens covers came off both headlights. during inclement weather, water got inside the headlights, causing the bulbs to stop working. dealer determined that vehicle needed new headlight assemblies. *ak | |||

| There is no way to turn off headlights at night, regardless of what position the headlight switch is in. the dealer said this is normal, but i think it is a safety hazard. for example, i work for the federal government (cdc), and when we turn into the parking lot we are supposed to turn off our headlights so the guard can see the parking decal and our face, and not be blinded by the headlights. i cannot do this. also, if i see someone inadvertently driving with their headlights off, i cannot flash mine off and on to signal them. thanks, cliff. *ak | |||
