After steering gear replacement at 26750, severe vibration was noticed; took four attemts (3 dealers) to make acceptable finally at 36137. …”

NHTSA complaint #10091086, filed 2004-09, 26,750 miles

“This vehicle was a demo and had 7376 mile on it at time of purchase but sold as new. I've had a bad vibration in the front end since I have purchased it and the dealer has made two attempts to repair it but its still not fixed. The headlights will flicker occasionally while driving but this is a new problem and the dealer has not made any repair attempts as of yet. The grinding in the steering wheel is also new and started when we picked the car up on 10-29-2002 from a repair attempt on the vibration. Dt”
