Consumer Description

NUMEROUS ISSUES 1. HEATER CORE WENT OUT AROUND 60,000 MILES. 2. DEXCOOL "GELLED" AND CAUSED THE ABOVE. 3. STEREO HAS MALFUNCTIONED SINCE 36,000 MILES. 4. TIE ROD END WORE OUT AROUND 30,000 MILES-TOOK TO DEALERSHIP A COUPLE OF TIMES AND "THEY COULDN'T DETERMINE CAUSE" OF "NOISE AND RATTLING". I TOOK IT TO A TIRE COMPANY/SERVICE CENTER AND THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM. 5. NUMEROUS INTERIOR FLOODINGS-WATER COMES IN AT THE FIREWALL AND FLOODS THE INTERIOR CARPET-HAS MOLD, AND DETERIORATION FROM IT. 6. HEADLAMPS ARE YELLOW AND NONTRANSPARENT-THE LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY BECAUSE IT CAN'T SHINE THROUGH. 7. HEADLAMP ASSEMBLIES ARE HOLDING WATER. 8. FOG LAMPS WENT OUT RIGHT AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR AND ONE OF THEM BURNED THE PLASTIC ASSEMBLY THAT HOLDS IT CAUSING IT TO NOT WORK AT ALL, DISFIGURED NOW. 9. REAR SPOILER IS NOT ATTACHED CORRECTLY AND SEEMS TO BE THE CAUSE OF WATER ENTERING THE TRUNK LID.
