Brakes: “When applying brakes there is a screeching sound. Dealer found front rotors glazed over, cleaned and lubricated rotors. Then on 7 june 2001, vehicle was taken back to dealer due to screeching noise. Dealer found front pads cracked, and front rotors to be grooved and hot spotted, turned rotors. Checked rear brakes, found no problem. Sometimes there is screeching noise even after consumer takes foot off brake, braking distance normal. This happens intermittently.”

Engine cooling: “Sulpher smell inside car: the dealer tried to fix the problem but could not. Eventually the smell went away by itself, or what ever smelled like sulphur while it was burning finally burnt up. Here is a list of other repairs the dealer has made: new altinator new weather striping on driver side door-now its coming off again new regulator for window on driver side door new motor mounts new linkage under for the transmission- couldn't remove key from ignition unless the gear shifter was being pushed forward at the same time. …”
