| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: After the first 200 miles on the odometer, the car had front rotor problems. the dealer tried to fix it 2 times by turning the rotors, only to return in less than 2,000 miles each time. they finally changed out the rotors for brand new ones after i complained to the dealer owner and management about the problem. the second issue was loss of power steering while on the highway, making it impossible to turn. this was caused by a faulty electrical connection at the fuse box, which i took it upon myself to repair and the problem never returned. the third problem started in january 2007, just one and a half years of owning the car. steering assembly noises identical to all previous reports was corrected by a rack and pinion assembly replacement. in july 2007 (just 6 months later) it was changed again. now in october (3 months later) it is scheduled to return to the dealer for yet another replacement, making this the 4th rack and pinion assembly to date (including the original). this is completely unacceptable for a vehicle of this price range... and the only solution to date is to continue to change out the assembly. *tr |
