NHTSA complaint #10131973, filed 2005-08, 39,400 miles“My cars fuel tank is now giving me problems. When I pull up to the pump get gas the car says its empty but when fueling the car constantly clicks saying its full. I have to keep taking the pump in and out of the car to reseal it then try again and again and most times again.

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. …”
