Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Currently the blower motor for the heater/defroster is not working. I have had many many problems with this car, inparticular with the brakes and steering. The rack and pinion was repaired twice. I have had brakes replaced twice, and recently the brake drums, rotators and pads. I have had the power steering pump repaired and from time to time need to have the steering wheel lubricated when it starts to make noise again. I am wondering if I am the only one with these problems or are others with this same car having the same problems. I do not feel safe when I am driving this car. …”

I believe this to be a safety issue because I live in wisconsin and I will not be able to defrost my windshield for visibility once winter is here unless I replace the blower motor again.”
NHTSA complaint #10244010, filed 2008-09“I have had ongoing problems with this vehicle since I purchased it in 2003. I purchase this car in august 2003. In october 2003, the car would not start. It was discovered that the wrong type bolt was in the battery causing the car not to start. I purchased the bolt at the dealership had it installed. In october 2004, the car started shifting hard. I took it to the dealership and was told that it needed some type of valve and that would solve the problem. Again, the dealership installed this valve and everything was fine. …”
