| On a few occassions cruise control caused a gradual unwanted acceleration from highway speed to appx. 70 mph before i manually disengaged same. additionally, without warning, cruise control has self disengaged, causing unwanted deceleration. this has occurred on a great many occassions, at several different speeds, but generally at between 45 & 55 mph. sometimes, after disengaging by itself it is not possible to re-engage the cruise control. these occurrences are not predicated by any specific weather condition, road surface conditions, or touching the break pedal. they have occurred on flat, level, good quality road surfaces in dry weather. on only a few occassions after the self disengagement, the accelerator pedal is felt to click then become re-engaged with cruise control. occassions have been sufficiently intermittent to not seem a serious problem to take to dealer. *ak | |||

| Air bag light was not working, replaced 2 of the componenets under the dash one under the drivers side up in the corner and the other up behind the glove box. cooling fan does not function properly must keep the ac on for the fan to work. a friend of mine has the same car and has the same problem. tried to fix by replacing the sensors had a mechanic try to trouble shoot, can't find a reason so it is not fixed just keep ac on always. car vibrates and can't find a reason still looking for problem, vibrates so much body parts on front are becoming misaligned! and it seems the auto-transmission shifts funny. check engine light comes and then stays on after driving apx. 1 mile. cruise control does not work properly. my friend has all the same complaints. *nm | |||
