I've had my engine checked back in may of 05 by the dealer they said it was engine misfire, the distributor ignition was bad. They charged me $321 just to check it, then I paid $276 to get it fixed. The car has had a drip ever since. In the past 6 to 8 months or longer I've had a drip from the engine that can't be fixed, I recently had my car worked on it was in the shop for a month it cost me $2500 to repair and it still has a leak. It's back there again because it needs that expansion plug and retaining bracket that only the dealer can provide according to every site but the place the car comes from. I'm also having transmission problems which I've had since I brought the vehicle. Because I need a shift mechanism and cable from the dealer according to every site but where the car comes from. A few of the problems that are on the list I've either got fixed or got an estimate for.(one ) of the problems on the list, the dealer sent something in the mail and I got it taken care of by the dealer, it was the( trans. Floor shifter). Also on your list! I've spent a lot of money to repair this vehicle for mistakes made by the dealer and it's not fair. I would like to be reimbursed and the recall problem fixed.
RPM's running high, transmission slipping, rough idle, ABS light consistantly on even after inspection, gear slips when placing into park, while driving the car reversed on its own. Have complained and wanted into another car due to having this one on a 24 lease, they denied me and have had to drive it and with 3 children and myself in the car it is not safe, but is the only transportation we have. We need help resolving this problem.
