1-normal care and maintenance of this vehicle. 2-the door hinges failed on both front doors, needing expensive replacement. 3-both front hub assemblies failed at 85,000 miles, costing $700. 00plus to repair. Both failures are unacceptable!   Read details...

The Latches/locks/linkage problem

The Hood Latch problem
