Complaint
1994
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THIS CAR WAS BROUGHT IN FOR A (B) RECALL (00M09)ON JULY OF 2000 WITH APPROX. 50000 MI. ON IT FOR A POTENTIAL HEAD GASKET FAILURE. MR. MACDONALD WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO NEED FOR SERVICING AT THAT TIME. APPROX. 3000 MI. LATER,THE CAR DEVELOPED OVER-HEATING AND HARD STARTING. IT WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO SAID THAT THE HEAD GASKET HAD FAILED.I FEEL THE DEALER/MFR. FAILED IN THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES TO CORRECT THE SITUATION WHEN THEY COULD HAVE ON JULY 2000,THUS LEADING TO ENGINE FAILURE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE DOOR LOCKS WOULD NOT ALWAYS AUTOMATICALLY LOCK WHEN THE CAR WAS PUT INTO DRIVE WHEN I PURCHASED IT. I TOOK IT BACK IN SEVERAL TIMES AND HAD IT CHECKED BUT THEY COULD NEVER REPAIR THE PROBLEM. NOW THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK AT ALL UNLESS IT IS DONE MANUALLY. THE REMOTE AND KEYLESS ENTRY WILL NOT WORK EITHER. THE AUTOMATIC LEVELING SYSTEM MAKES AN AWFUL WHIRRING NOISE NOW THAT THE DEALER SAYS IS NORMAL. IT WASN'T NORMAL WHEN THE CAR WAS NEW BECAUSE IT DID NOT MAKE THAT NOISE. *AK
