Consumer Description

THERE HAVE BEEN ISSUES WITH THIS CAR INVOLVING THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE BRAKES (CALIPERS STICKING), THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS (RUSTED CIRCUIT BOARD AND BURNED OUT BULBS), REAR SEAT BELT (PART THAT LOCKED BELT TO MAKE IT SAFE FOR CHILD SEAT WAS PLASTIC AND BROKE) AND NOW ALSO THE INTAKE & INTAKE GASKETS ON THE COOLING SYSTEM. I'M GETTING REALLY FED UP WITH HAVING THE CAR IN THE SHOP ALL THE TIME. NOW, AT 57,000 MILES, THE INTAKE GASKETS NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $600, WHEN THEY WERE ALREADY REPLACED AT 16,000 MILES WHEN THE INTAKE WAS REPLACED. WE THOUGHT WE WERE DONE PAYING FOR THIS CAR, BUT I GUESS NOT. *JB
