#737904 | July 19, 2001

WE HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE, THE MAJOR PROBLEMS HAVE INCLUDED THE MUFFLER SYSTEM BEING REPLACED, FRONT CRANK AND REAR MAIN SEALS LEAKING AND BEING REPLACED, TRANSMISSION BEING TOALLY REPLACED AT 57K AND NOW OUR TIMING BELT HAS SNAPPED CAUSING $4,000 IN DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR. OWNER'S MANUAL STATES THAT TIMING BELT DOES NOT NEED TO BE CHECKED UNTIL 75K THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 67K. WE LOST THE TRANSMISSION AND THE MOTOR ON I-20 IN LOUISIANA GOING AT A RATE OF 70MPH, BOTH TIMES BEING LEFT STRANDED ON THE INTERSTATE EARLY IN THE AM. BOTH INCIDENTS HAVE PUT MY FAMILY IN DANGER AND I HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT IF EITHER HAD OCCURRED LATER IN THE DAY IT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT.*AK
