What owners wrote

Car parked on hill with emergency brake engaged. When brake was released, car rolled backwardsas if in neutralal, even though it was in park.

Reported at 10,500 miles, September 2004 Injury

Wow same problem as everyone else. Speed does not register properly seems to be whenever it wants it will show speeds higher then what they are. This is a danger because speeds are guessed in school zones and highways. After a couple days speed will begin to work ok. Now the blower motor and heater do not work unless you pound by the ashtray area and hopefully the air conditioning will start blowing but the heat will not come on when switched to heat.
