Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have a 1.8 engine and I needed it to be rebuilt. I did not put any miles on the engine when the transmission decided to die. This car is an impossible car to get parts for. If I can get the parts, the book or the computer gives me the wrong part and cannot find a replacement part. I need a parts book and whatever to rebuilt the transmission and it can not be found. Where can I find parts that do not cost me three times the amount than other cars. This car has been nothing but a pain for me.”
