| Model year | COMPONENT | Complaint |
| 1999 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:CARBURETOR SYSTEM | BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBLE DESIGN FLOW, INTAKE GASKET FAILED CAUSING WATER TO GET INTO ENGINE. JB |
| 2003 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. LAST WEEK, WENT TO THE DMV TO TAKE A DRIVING TEST AND THE HORN WOULD NOT START. BROUGHT THE CAR BACK HOME, CHECKED THE FUSE BOX. THE HORN FUSE HAD BEEN TAKEN OUT OF THE CAR. PUT A NEW FUSE IN AND THE HORN WOULD NOT STOP. I MUST ALSO INCLUDE THAT DUE TO THIS FAILURE, MY KEYLESS CAR ENTRY/LOCK WILL NOT BEEP. ALSO, I ASSUME THAT MY CAR ALARM WILL NOT WORK BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. BROUGHT CAR TO THE MECHANIC, APPARENTLY IN ORDER TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, THE AIRBAG MUST BE REMOVED, COSTING APPROXIMATELY $1800 TO REPAIR. OBVIOUSLY, I AM NOT WILLING TO PAY THIS PRICE AND NOW WILL HAVE TO FIGURE OUT A MAKESHIFT HORN OPTION. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT ISSUE THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR |
