Right after I purchased vehicle, music system had to be replaced. Battery had to be replaced in less than a year.had to take it in for two recalls. Brakes sometimes squeak when you come to a stop. While traveling on the highway car will start to vibrate. The low fuel light comes on even though you may have over a half of tank of gas. Engine is racing to high. Notice in July/00 while driving car starts to jerk or plung forward for no apparent reason. Also when you apply your brakes it will do this. Recently I have taken car to the dealership about this problem, but they could not find anything wrong with it.
