What owners wrote
My wife was in the car alone. Vehicle ran off road, crashed into parked truck, air bag did not deploy. Wife died of "closed chest trauma",
Right after purchasing. Engine light has been on. Purchased in june/2006, with 40,000miles. 1yr after the RPM gauge quit working, right afterwards,the fuel gauge started messing up, going back & forth,then went out completely, battery/oil gauges are out now. The seat belt lights/airbag lights bing constantly & does not tighten up when put on brakes. When this happens the check gauges light comes on, and at the same time I have difficulty getting it in gear. I am also having trouble setting my cruise control.
