Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The vehicle was bought back in 10/31/04. within weeks of having the vehicle, we noticed lost of power and performances if the vehicle. we called the dealer about it and said that it might just be due to the gas cap. as it turned out they had to replace a solenoid which part of the starter or some type of firing mechanism for the engine. after that problem was fixed, we had to continually bring the vehicle back to the dealer for the check engine constantly coming on. this went on for numerous times until they found a relay problem. last friday my wife, who primarily drives the car, complained about the performance and lost of power issue. i test drove the vehicle and confirmed her worries about the vehicle. the vehicle does not accelerate properly and a sudden jerk or rise of rpm when it hits its mark. also around 60 mph and 70 mph you can hear obvious noise from the engine. at idle for about a minute you can smell something burning in the engine compartment. the vehicle will be taken to dealer on 10/17/06. *nm
