Car would not start so we took the car in on 1/22/2004 and had to have an ignition module replaced. Cost $492. 45 on 2/6/2004 once again car would not start , so we took the car in to a different shop and had to have the ecm module replaced . Cost $629. 28 the trunk of this car fills with water, has power surges through the electrical system--noticable when the heat, defrost or fan has to be used. On occcasion the car accellerates on its own. This car has less than 20,000 miles on it and I found out that we are the fourth owners of this vehicle. Could you please let me know if there is anything I can do, as I feel as though I have been sold a"lemon"? the VIN of this car is 1g3nl12t6vm311099 thank you for any information you can give me.

At any speed vehicle will accelerate up to 70 mph, making it hard to stop vehicle. Took to dealer, and they said maybe the mat was getting stuck between pedal. 2nd time they said it was the computer, and third time they said solenoid was bad. Then they said abs had a short in it. Dealer still has not found the cause of the problem.
