What owners wrote
I have owned the car for less than one month. I bought it from an as-is dealer with one-year warranty on the transmission. We found smoke came from under the hood on january 21, and had my car checked by a mechanic. The reported problem was power steering leaking and then the related pressure and return hoses were replaced. It seemed ok. But on january 26, my car was suddenly on fire when we were driving with our teacher. We had to call 911 to smother the fire.
The vehicle stalled all around town but not on the highway. The stalling occurred daily. Number of failures were too numerous to count. *scc possible ignition problems.
