4 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THIS CAR, I STARTED HAVING MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH IT. I'VE HAD TO PAY $830 FOR A HEAD GASKET AT 82,000 MILES, $318 FOR SUSPENSION + ALIGNMENT BECAUSE MY TIERODS BUSTED OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT 92,000 MILES. I STILL CANNOT GET THE FUEL INJECTION PROBLEM FIXED, BECAUSE I'M OUT OF MONEY. I HAD TAKEN THIS CAR IN TWICE FOR THE STALLING, ENGINE DYING, AND SHAKING PROBLEM, AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN FIXED (STARTED 4 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR). *AK
DRIVERS SIDE TIE ROD SEPARATED OUT OF SOCKET, CAUSING TOTAL LOSS OF ALL STEERING CONTROL, THE CAR IS TOO NEW TO HAVE THIS FAILURE, DEALER INSPECTED CAR TWO MONTHS PRIOR AND SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE WEAR ON BOTH TIE ROD JOINTS.*AK
