| Model year | COMPONENT | Complaint |
| 1993 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:STARTER ASSEMBLY | VEHICLE WAS RUNNING FINE AT 60MPH WHEN ENGINE STARTED TO RUN ROUGH AND SMOKE CAME OUT OF EXHAUST. SMELL OF COOLANT IN EXHAUST ALSO. THE ENGINE HAD BLOWN A HEAD GASKET WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER TURNING VEHICLE OFF, ENGINE WOULD NOT START AGAIN SINCE FLUID HAD FILLED UP THE CYLINDERS. TRYING TO START THE CAR CAUSED A SECONDARY PROBLEM, I.E.,THE STARTER BROKE. |
| 2005 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY CAR BEGAN ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN. WHEN I CAME TO A STOP, IT WOULD LURCH FORWARD AND REV VERY HIGH. FROM A COMPLETE STOP, THE CAR WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE UP TO 50+ ON ITS OWN WITHOUT EVER TOUCHING THE ACCELERATOR. TO GET IT TO STOP, I EITHER HAVE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF OR "PUNCH" THE ACCELERATOR. *TR |
