When i purchased my vehicle i noticed that the speedometer was acting a little funny. After about two weeks the speedometer no longer gave an accurate reading and also noticed that the mileage was slow. I compared a few distances and the car's speedometer only recorded half of the actual mileage traveled. The lights on the needles are flickering and the gas light needle is completely out. It is very hard to know at what speed i am traveling, as well as even know if i have enough fuel, without turning on the cabin light. This speedometer issue has become a real problem, i can't control my speed and i am constantly distracted. *jb

Bought this car used, and what seemed to be very good condition with up to date maintenance records. I have had this car three months. All but about 1 week has been in the shop.. The instrament lights went out completely $1000 to fix,,, joke... The power steering pump amd sensors went out causing the radiator to fail caused the car to severly overheat,, caused the transmission to fail and the electrical harness failed to the fuel injector controls causing carbon buildup in the fuel injectors, in my opinion this is the biggest peice of junk i have ever owned.*ak

The lights , check engine and the temperature gauges i felt do not work properly. The engine was getting hot and overheating, cutting out dying and the check engine light never came on. Then the temp guage never bobbled or moved until the car tried to die at 45 mph. Then it bobbled, just slightly then went back to normal. The radiator was fried dried. And the piston rings are fried and toast and i had absolutely no warning. I had the car towed to the shop, they changed the radiator and advised me of the transmission problem which i knew nothing of and the piston rings. If i just replace the piston rings, in about a 3 months i will have to do the bottom half of the engine. I can not afford to do that. The idiot lights and gauges should have been recalled. Dt
