| I have constant problems with the brakes, they wear out quickly. recently had alternator replaced in aug. 2003 and now the sensor valve caught fire and burned up the wire harness, valves, valve cover, timing belt, serpentine belt. $1400 of work to be done and no guarantee that extended warranty will cover. whenever i did take it to the dealer for a complaint, they would always say they couldn't find a problem. *jb | |||
