I have had to replace 3 brand new batteries which were still under warranty, because they were totally drained. I believe there is something wrong with the electrical system. There is nothing that I have done that should have caused the batteries to die. The blower on the air conditioner/heat doesn't work and the dealer states that they can't find anything wrong with it. The cover of the passenger side airbag is prying up from the dashboard. I have had the brakes replace 2 times all ready and now all the rotors are warped and need to be replaced. I think this vehicle make has very serious defects and after reviewing other consumers problems. I'm very glad that I plan to sell mine very shortly.

Sunroof does not close completely by motor, and need allan wrench to close it; power door locks do not work; window glass rattles and is loose at weatherstrip; fuel vapors smelled periodically, particularly on hot days; horn works intermittently; A/C compressor bearing failed; burns oil (mechanic said needs valve job); brake rotors overheat constantly, causing vibration during braking. Have had them resurfaced numerous times and replaced once.

Upon driving my vehicle 5/12/99 the drivebelt began shredding. 5/13/99 the problem fixed with both belts being replaced. While driving on 5/14/99 a belt fell off, resulting both belts gone and loss of A/C as well as power steering. Problem fixed again with mechanic suggesting that belts may not have fit properly and replaced with factory parts. 5/25/99 while driving I noticed a loss in power steering and A/C again I immediately inspected and saw the belts once again missing. Frusterated I went the nearest dealership and asked what may be wrong with the car. The service advisor brought to my attention that there is a bulletin regarding that one of the pulleys on the drive system losses alignment and causes the belts to fall off. The remedy is to apply shimms to bring all pulleys in alignment at a cost of approximatley $200 for labor. Why is this not a recall and what is a bulletin for if we are not informed till its more expensive. When driving and the belts fell off I lost my power steering too.
