NHTSA complaint #10188356, filed 2007-04, 40,000 miles

“Quite a few of the screws or grommets that hold the body parts onto my car have fell out. My front bumper was barely bumped and it broke one of the clips on the bumper and is now tied up with a shoe string. My A/C compressor has already had to be replaced and for some reason the cooling fans are not working properly. The structure on this car is poor. The lock to the drivers side doow just spins now, so it needs to be replace. I have already had to replace the trunks lock due to same problem. I have had to replace the ignition switch also due to key not operating properly. …”
