While driving vehicle will just stall out. Took vehicle to dealership, andthey replace PCV valve. Then engine blew out. Had engine rebuilt, and it blrew out again.
In-shop for transmission 3 times (on 3rd trans); paint peeling on bumper (dealer refusted to paint);clear coat cracked and bubbled on spoiler & side mirror (dealer repainted); noticed A/C didn't work right after purchase; check engine light on (reason for replacing engine coil, etc. And converter); interior driver's door handle broke; dealer always fights getting us a loaner/rental car (but we have to have one since its our only car now!); always in shop an extensive amount of time except when they are paying for us a rental; manufacturer contacted by phone in May 2001, but offered no help.
While driving at any rate of speed vehicle severly pulls to right or left, causing loss of control cause unknown. Dealer cannot identify problem. The vehicle could not start because the charging system failed to maintain the battery. Afterwards, the vehicle experienced rough acceleration, cutting off in idle, surging back and forward. Brakes pulsing and squealing. Later on the air system stopped completely due to the heater fan and motor assembly failure. Check the engine light came on due to burned spark plug wires.
