I WISH I'D KNOW ABOUT YOUR WEBSITE A LONG TIME AGO. I CAN'T AFFORD THE $3500 IT'LL TAKE TO REPAIR THIS CAR SO TODAY, I'LL HAVE TO TRADE IT & GO BACK TO PAYING A CAR NOTE. THIS CAR WAS PAID OFF. IT DIDN'T FALL UNDER THE LEMON LAW RULE BUT IF I HAD TO CLASSIFY IT, I'D CERTAINLY CLASSIFY IT AS A LEMON OR PUT IT UP FOR RECALL CONSIDERATION. ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME PART OF THE VEHICLE IS ABSURD. I'VE OWNED MANY VEHICLES & NEVER REQUIRED THIS MUCH MAINTENANCE. I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW 11/2002. *TR
