Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Since purchasing this car in nov. 2001, it has given me numerous problems. i have had the struts replaced under warranty for leaking oil, it has stalled more times than i can count, causing concerns about my and my family's safety,and recently the engine cut off without warning while exiting the freeway. the engine is now frozen and since i've reached my 60,000 mile mark, the dealership is hesitant to fix it under warranty. this is truly an expensive lemon.*ak
