NHTSA complaint #10057925, filed 2004-02, 80,000 miles“I have had problem after problem...had rotors replaced 3 mos after purchase, complained of violent shaking numerous times. I was told this was b/c I had after factory wheels that were too big for my car. I learned to live with it. The next thing to occur was a loud noise while driving coming from front end wheels. In june of 2001, I had an A/C idler pulley replaced for $150. As soon as I drove away, the noise presented again. I finally gave up on sitting at the dlrshp for 3 hrs w/a 3 yr old, so I've learned to live with it...yet again. The noise still persists as of 2/02. …”
