| The vehicle has caused me nothing but problems, it eats oil without any sign of where it is going. the auto belt tightener is not working and cost an arm and a leg to fix. sunroof broke without any notice or cause, the fan switch never did operate correctly, now it is shifting real hard all the time while your driving, once it is warmed up. this vehicle is definitely a lemon. ak scc ***dimsii ivoq posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis****744336 | |||
