NHTSA complaint #10106701, filed 2005-01, 25,000 miles“Junk! Just over the 60,000 mile warranty and just about everything you can imagine went wrong. The gas gauge does not work. The exhaust broke apart on the flex pipe. It's all one piece and costs $850 just for parts. One out of two o2 sensors are bad at $200 a pop! Front wheel bearings went; one seized up and one was wobbling loose at $200 each. Front and rear brakes both went at once, rotors and all. Alternator also went bad which lead to new battery. Gas mileage went down to 28 mpg. Everything has been maintained on a regular basis and I'm still losing gas mileage. …”
