| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Of the many problems i've had since purchasing this vehicle, the latest takes the cake. here's the skinny of all my problems, with the latest motivating me to report a complaint to the nhtsa. hopefully, something can be done. here's a website of others with the same transmission issue: http://www.carsurvey.org/cgi-bin/fix_comment.pl where do i start. i purchased this car with 38k miles and it's been a nightmare. first thing to go was a wheel bearing at 41k, got that fixed @ $200. next to go @ 48k was the two calipers and new rotors on the front, cost $800. next @ 52k was the a/c needed to be recharged, $150. next @ 58k, the two calipers in the back has to be replaced, cost $300 (i found a good mechanic/friend). for the grand finale... i need to replace the transmission @ 61k, cost range from $1,800 to $3,400. i will fix it and dump it right away and sell it. a complete lemon!!! it should be reported to the nhtsa for an investigation. *jb |
