| 2002 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BACK UP LIGHTS | THE REVERSE LIGHTS AND TAG LIGHT STOPPED WORKING DUE TO FRAYING OF WIRES NEAR TRUNK HINGE. FRAYING ALSO CASED THE "TRUNK/DOOR" LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE ON DASH UNTIL REPAIRED. CHEAP PLASTIC COVERING DID NOTHING TO PREVENT FRAYING FROM CONTACT WITH TRUNK HINGE. AT 3000 MILES, HAD TO GO TO DEALER THREE TIMES TO HAVE STEERING COLUMN REPLACED DUE TO LOUD NOISE WHEN WHEEL WAS TURNED. SUN VISORS ARE HARD TO USE, THEY HIT REARVIEW MIRROR WHEN ADJUSTED. INADEQUATE EVEN WHEN USED. VERY LOUD POPPING SOUND ON DRIVER'S SIDE AT TIMES UNDER BRAKE PEDAL. GOOD CAR OTHERWISE. |
