I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT I HAVE HAD MORE PROBLEMS THAN ANYONE COULD IMAGINE WITH THIS CAR. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP OVER 20 TIMES. I HAVE HAD THE STARTER REPLACED, WATER PUMP, ALTENATOR, BRAKE PADS REPLACED TWICE AND THE ROTORS FOR WARPING AS WELL AS ONE OF THE CALIPERS. I HAVE ALSO HAD MORE THAN 4 BATTERIES GONE OUT A HOST OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS FROM THE DOOR LOCKS BURNING OUT AND BEING REPLACED AT LEAST TWICE THE INTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTS GOING OUT. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE DRIVE SPLINES(NOT SURE OF THE SPELLING) REPLACED DUE TO CRACKING AND BRAKING PROBLEMS WITH THEM. THE VALVE TAPLETS HAVE BEEN REPLACED DUE TO A LEAKING DOWN OF ALL 16 OF THEM, THE EXHAUST MAINFOLD WAS JUST REPLACED FOR A WARPING THAT CRACKED IT AND WAS CAUSING EXHAUST TO ESCAPE INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE DASH HAS BEEN REPLACED FOR CRACKING. THEN TAKING BACK OUT FOR A MESS UP. STILL WONDERING IF THE AIRBAGS WERE HOOKED BACK UP . HOPE I NEVER HAVE TO FIND OUT. THIS IS JUST A HINT AT SOME OF THE PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD. I'M VERY UPSET BECAUSE I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY CAR AND HAVE HAD ALL THE WORK DONE ON MY CAR BY THE DEALERSHIP TO PREVENT PROBLEMS DOWN THE ROAD SUCH AS TUNE UPS AND A HOST OF OTHER JOBS ON MY CAR DONE BEFORE THE RECOMMEND TIME. THANKS FOR ANY INFO YOU COULD GIVE ME .

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK
I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED LAST YEAR IN JULY WITH 36,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD NUMBEROUS PROBLEMS WITH MY ABS BRAKES. THE LATEST IS THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS COMING ON AND WHEN I TOOK IT INTO THE GARAGE FOR REPAIR, THEY SAID THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE MODULATOR ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM AT A COST OF OVER $1600. I HAD THE WORK DONE, BUT HOW COULD A CAR I HAVE HAD LESS THAN 1 YEAR REQUIRE SUCH INTENSIVE AND EXPENSIVE REPAIR.
