Roof And Pillar problem #1

Complained several times to dealer that car had no power, poor gas mileage, hesitation upon starting out, motor fell apart at 66,000 miles on interstate. Car, although a new motor, continues to have no power, poor gas mileage, hesitation upon starting out. What's going to keep the motor from blowing up again, and maybe we be killed. O2 and pt sensors continues to blow. Sunroof will not open;advised a new one would be $975. Sunroof complaint at 13,680 miles.

Bumper problem #2

Front bumper skirt catches on parking space blocks at the head of parking spaces. This has pulled the bumper off and twisted it. I was not previously aware of a problem like this or forewarned about it by the salesman or manufacturer. I would not have bought this particular model had I known. Parking the car safely in my parking lot (or any lot) is made much more difficult by this problem.

Frame And Members problem #3

Engine failure due to cracked #2 piston; cross member was mis-manufactured-camber could not be adjusted to spec.
