Bought this car used with low miles (30,000) even though 6 yrs. old. I needed an affordable 4WD vehicle to get me around in my mountain community in Colo. After struggling with it the entire 1st season, I took it to dealership for assessment and was told there were leaky vacuum lines. Supposed to be inexpensive fix. However, parts for that model year were no longer available, so I paid full price for a new system to be installed. I was not happy to learn that a system as important as the 4WD is operated by a vacuum system. Stupid design!!! The new system only lasted 2 yrs!!
