ENGINE GASKET BLEWOUT, AND COOLANT/ WATER AND OIL MIXED AND BLEW ENGINE. DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM. *AK

WINDSHIELD WIPER WASHER SWITCH IS ACTIVATED WINDSHIELD WIPERS DON'T WORK. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED.*AK

THE BRAKES OFTEN DO NOT ADEQUATELY SLOW THE VEHICLE WHEN APPLIED. OCCURS AT ANY SPEED AND INTERMITTENTLY. IN TO DEALER FOR PROBLEM MANY TIMES. STILL BAD. SCARY. WE'VE ONLY AVOIDED A COLLISION DUE TO EXTRA CARE TAKEN IN FOLLOWING DISTANCES AND WITH LUCK.*AK

THE PROBLEM WITH THE ABS: USUALLY OCCURS WITHIN THE FIRST MILE DRIVEN AFTER START UP. WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED, THE PEDAL GOES WAY SOFT AND CAR LURCHES FORWARD. A MECHANICAL SOUND IS HEARD AND THE ABS LIGHT THEN COMES ON. I AM UNSURE IF THE ABS WORKS OR NOT AFTER THAT, BUT THE LIGHT IS ON. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AS I CAN NOT AFFORD TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AT THIS TIME. THIS HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF ROAD CONDITIONS (WET, DRY, ICE, ETC.) THE CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEM HAS RENDERED IT USELESS. IT WILL HOLD A SPEED, BUT WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHEN SWITCH IS DEPRESSED. WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL AND LEFT OR RIGHT TURN SIGNAL IS USED, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES UNTIL SIGNAL IS TURNED OFF. THE BRAKE LIGHTS GET CONDENSATION INSIDE THEM AFTER RAIN OR A WASH, AND THER TRUNK HAS LEAKED SO BAD THAT IT FILLED THE SPARE TIRE WELL (ALL THE WAY UP) WITH WATER. I CANNOT FIND THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK, BUT THE CARPET IS ALMOST ALWAYS WET IN THE TRUNK.*AK

REAR BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. CONSUMER NOTICED THAT BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON, AND THEN HAD BRAKES CHECKED. DEALER NOTED THAT REAR BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING AT ALL. THERE WAS NO WEAR IN BRAKE PADS. CONTACTED DEALER AND DEALER DID NOT WANT TO HELP.*AK
