The consumer heard a loud noise and found large amounts of nuts and bolts rolling back and forth on both panels in the trunk. Both panels were replaced in the rear seat area. The engine stalled, there was white smoke coming out of the exhaust badly. The chain bolt valve, timing cover, timing belt, timing chain/belt, the balance shaft bolt, and the front and rear struts were replaced. A new oil pan was placed in the vehicle. The vehicle idled abnormally and lost power. The vehicle needed a new battery, and a left front headlight assembly. There was a knocking issue when going over bumps. Mr scc

The battery only last 1 year. The computer gets wet inside somehow and shorts out, this is very common on these cars. I have spoken to a few others and they have the same problem. There is a seal or something that is not I place.

I would just like to say that I have had more problems than anyone could imagine with this car. It has been in the shop over 20 times. I have had the starter replaced, water pump, altenator, brake pads replaced twice and the rotors for warping as well as one of the calipers. I have also had more than 4 batteries gone out a host of electrical problems from the door locks burning out and being replaced at least twice the intrument cluster lights going out. I have also had to have the drive splines(not sure of the spelling) replaced due to cracking and braking problems with them. The valve taplets have been replaced due to a leaking down of all 16 of them, the exhaust mainfold was just replaced for a warping that cracked it and was causing exhaust to escape into the engine compartment. The dash has been replaced for cracking. Then taking back out for a mess up. Still wondering if the airbags were hooked back up. Hope I never have to find out. This is just a hint at some of the problems I have had. I'm very upset because I take very good care of my car and have had all the work done on my car by the dealership to prevent problems down the road such as tune ups and a host of other jobs on my car done before the recommend time. Thanks for any info you could give me.

I bought the vehicle new in February of 1995, thirteen months after buying the vehicle the timing belt snapped. The engine was essentially replaced. Three months later the water pump failed and was replaced, it failed again and was replaced again. The vents on the dashboard popped out and had to be replaced, they have since popped out again. The horn relay has been replaced twice and still does not function properly. The brakes were resurfaced after about 4 months because of a defect. The alarm has been replaced three times. The battery has been replaced twice. All of these problems occured in the first three years I owned the vehicle. In the past four months I have noticed a very strong odor of fuel in the car, I have brought it to several mechanics, without success. The car had developed a stalling problem about a month ago - in an attempt to correct the problem my mechanic replaced the gasket kit (leak) because he felt the plugs were getting wet. About three months ago my front and rear wipers stopped working, I tried replacing the fuse, they still don't work. Last week on my way to work my car lost all power and I am now told that my transmission is shot and needs to be rebuilt. Help!
