While driving, the car suddenly stalled. It would not restart. I had it towed to the dealer who checked it to find that the engine had died due to a failed cam. This car only has approx 58000 miles on it and it in show room condition. I take extra care to make sure that all maintenance requirements are met. There is no way that this engine should have failed. My extended warrenty expired in may and now the dealer wants me to pay for a new engine. An engine that costs as much as the blue book value of the car in excellent condition.

Car has stalled without any reason or warning. Car has experienced engine racing or surging. Car has been to the shop and to the dealership (3days) no one able to locate cause.

This car broke two camshafts (the original and after instaling a new one, the first time the mechanic turn on the auto it broke the camshaft again apparently without any reason. I spent more than $3,000 to fully repair the vehicle's engine but finished buying another engine. At this moment is in the mechanic installing the engine. 4 months of paying the car, the insurance and the mechanic and parts without knowing what really happened. 3 mechanics checked the car and found it has a rare lubrication problem in the engine because it does not delivers oil to the other parts of the engine. The oilpump is in good condition and everything seems normal but when you turn on the auto it breaks the camshaft again.

Vehicle will not pick up speed and cannot go into lower gears due to a problem with transaxle. The vehicle stalled while the consumer was driving and it was rear ended causing injury to the driver.

The car cuts out, has a miss or hesitation that has not been detected on machinery. The engine was replaced, the fuel pump replaced, I was told not to use bp or super America gas, no higher than 87 octane and I have done everything religiously. The dealer has had the car on multiple occasions & admits a problem. I became so frustrated that I filed a complaint with the ohio attorney general's office. Automobile complaints are outsourced and "autocap" has been working to resolve the problem. However, after a year I remain frustrated. I have narrowly escaped at least two accidents because of this hesitation & then pressing the gas & taking off with a vengence. This car is definately an unsafe vehicle but I have come accustomed to driving it as I have no alternative. However, my youngest son just received his driving permit & I am scared to death to let him drive this car. The dealer installed a computer at one time which recorded 3 incidents of the problem. However, upon retrieving the data, the dealer claims there was data. They also report problems with the computers & quite frankly I don't believe they know how to use them. At one point the dealer offered to take this vehicle off my hands & put me in either another '97 for an additional $1000 or a new car for $349/mo. Due to credit problems (a long story but I've worked 2 jobs for the past 11 years after a plant closing where my husband & I became displaced workers. We survived on my credit cards as my husband had problems emotionally & mentally dealing with being unable to provide for his family. He made less than $2000 several years & I became the sole provider. I wouldn't call living in a $60,000 home living lavishly so you can see we didn't get extravagent!)I cannot get a loan. However, I am working to repay my debts & rebuild my credit. The constant worry of driving an unsafe vehicle is driving me insane. Any assistance you may provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
