What owners wrote
My concern is the car is only 3 yrs old and we are continueing to have problems occur, the cigarette lighter has a short in it as well.
Water pump leaking and needs to be replaced for the third time. One water pump was replaced under warranty. A second water pump failed just after the 36,000 warranty was up and cost me extra to replace because of the poor design of the engine which requires that it be removed to replace the water pump. The third has just failed for unknown reasons. The vehicle only has 75,000 miles on it.
