129 consumer complaints on file.

#702307January 17, 1999
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION ON CAR FAILS WITHOUT ANY KIND OF WARNINGS. AT HIGH SPEEDS, IT DOES NOT ALLOW DRIVER ENOUGH TIME TO PULL-OVER. IN CASE OF HEAVY TRAFFIC THIS WILL BECOME A HUGE RISK FOR DRIVER AND OTHER CARS BEHIND. THIS WILL LIKELY CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I WAS LUCKY BOTH TIMES SINCE THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC WHEN TRANSMISSION FAILED. MANUFACTURER HAS REFUSED A RE-PURCHASE. VEHICLE IS UNSAFE FOR DRIVING AND NEEDS TO GO THROUGH A THOROUGH INSPECTION.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
THE VEHICLE UPON REACHING 70+ MPH, EMITS A LOUD ENGINE NOISE, AND THIS NOISE GETS LOUDER AS I DRIVER FASTER. I HAVE TO TURN UP THE RADIO OR TALK LOUDER BECAUSE OF THE NOISE. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE ENGINE IS GOING TO EXPLODE. EACH TIME I HEAR THIS NOISE, IT UPSETS ME. THIS NOISE IS NOT NORMAL AND I AM TIRED OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN ITS CURRENT STATE.
