Air conditioner only worked on first setting. Mechanic told me that the door that controls where the air went was not working and would cost $500 to $600 for repairs. Seemed to work fine with heat, but not with air. Mechanic stated the door was a small plastic piece, but he would have to remove the entire dashboard to get to it. No discernible reason for this malfunction.

There are two:
one: a/c "overflow catch trap" collects water and does not drain, causing moldy smell and requires cleaning out of "trap"
two: front end brakes "wobble" - took in 3 times under warranty to have fixed and once had to pay at 12k miles to have to have rotors replaced. Otherwise replied to as "normal". Still wobbles (I would not describe as the expected "pulsing") - never completely satisfied at any time reported. Now of warranty (of course) but who has time to keep taking the car back in?.

Air conditioning blower motor emitted a high-pitched noise at 8,029 miles. The dealer replaced the blower motor. The same problem occured at 33,130 miles. The blower was repaired by the dealer. The brakes began to vibrate at 17,000 miles at 55 mph. The dealer repaired or replaced the rotors on the front end. This same vibration reappeared at approximately 31,000 miles. The dealer would not repair the brake rotors a second time. Also at approximately 31,000 miles, the front end emitted a thudding sound at low speeds (20 mph) . The dealer would not consider this problem, though the vehicle was still within warranty mileage and time. The final diagnosis on the thudding noise under the front end was completely "shot" struts.
