I HAVE HAD OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR FEUL PUMP REPLACED , NEW HEAD PUT ON CAR, TRANSMISSION SCREEN AND FILTER REPLACED BECAUSE OF LEAKAGE, BRAKES REPLACED ROTORS TURNED, BROKEN MOTOR MOUNT, REAR AXLE LOOSE. SQUEALING NOISE ON PASSANGER SIDE WHEN TURNING OR GOING AROUND A CURVE. THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS CAR ALSO I THINK HAS A PROBLEM IT HESITATES WHEN YOU FIRST CRANK UP THE CAR IT WON' T GO IT ACTS LIKE YOU ARE IN NEUTRAL FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN IT GOES. I HAVE ALSO HAD SOME TYPE OF COLLANT RING AROUND THE TIMING CHAIN REPLACED THE ENGINE WOULD GET HOT AND START SMOKING IT SMELLED LIKE ANTI-FREEZE . MOST OF THE REPAIR WORK HAS BEEN DONE UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRENTY BUT THIS CAR DOES HAVE PROBLEMS.
