NHTSA complaint #8001530, filed 2002-01“Body: this vehicle has a leak problem. It absorbs water whenever it rains. After many attempts, we cannot determine where the water is entering the vehicle. The most curious feature of this water is that the water accumulates in the floor of the vehicle. There is never any wetness or moisture in the ceiling or seats of the vehicle. Water puddles in floor of the right passenger rear floor; and on the driver's side. Steering: the steering system in the vehicle is very poor. Steering has a lot of lost motion and requires a lot of correction to keep the vehicle in place on the road.”
NHTSA complaint #10070536, filed 2004-01“Driver's side tie rods broke off, could have resulted in a crash. Dealer had to replace the inner and outer tie rods. Please provide further information.”
