SINCE BUYING THE CAR IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP MORE THAN OUT, HAVE HAD PROBLEMS TRAVELING OUT OF TOWN RUINED TWO TRIPS. THE WINDOW WIPERS WERE DISCONNECTED, ALTERNATOR OUT, TRANSMISSION OUT, DASH RATTLES, MOTOR UNDER DRIVERS SEAT IS LOOSE, AND THE AIR CONDITIONER MAKES A HIGH WHINE. THE SEAT, AND DASH AND TRANSMISSION HAVE BEEN LOOKED AT THREE TIMES AND STILL NOT FIXED. THE CAR SHIFTS HARD INTO GEAR AFTER REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION WHICH TOOK TWO TIMES TO THE SHOP TO FIX. THE TIRE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON DURING ONE OF THE OUT OF TOWN TRIPS EVEN THOUGH IT WAS CHECKED REPEATEDLY.

WHILE DRIVING 25-30 MPH BATTERY LIGHT ON DASH CAME ON, THEN, ALL DOORS LOCKED AND VEHICLE STALLED. CONSUMER AND 2 PASSENGERS WERE NOT ABLE TO GET OUT OF VEHICLE. WHILE TRYING TO START VEHICLE NUMEROUS TIMES, FRONT PASSENGER DOOR UNLOCKED, AND ALL 3 PERSONS INSIDE VEHICLE WERE ABLE TO GET OUT. THIS WAS THIRD TIME THIS HAPPENED. FIRST TIME ON 1JAN2001, DEALER SAID BATTERY TERMINAL WAS LOOSE, THEN ON 8JUNE2001 , DEALER REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR. NOW DEALER SAID VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVEN ENOUGH. *AK ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED. *SLC

THE WIRING THAT CONTROLS ALL THE ELECTRONICS; AIR BAGS, BATTERY, INSTRUMENTS, ALTERNATOR, AND LIGHTS FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT 55 MILES PER HOUR BETWEEN TWO LARGE 18-WHEELED TRUCKS. IT IS JUST BY THE GRACE OF GOD THAT THE TRUCK DRIVER IN FRONT PRESSED HIS BRAKE LIGHTS BECAUSE HE SAW I WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE CAR WHICH ENABLED ME TO MANUEVER AND PULL TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I FEEL THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE ROAD. I AM PREPARED TO TRAVEL TO WASHINGTON, DC OR DETROIT OR ANYWHERE TO MAKE SURE THAT MY RIGHTS AND THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVING PUBLIC IS NOT JEOPARDIZED.*AK
