What owners wrote
Design of the gear shifter interferes with the control of the vehicle radio. Whenever the gear is in drive it obstructs the control of the radio, and causes danger in shifting gear into another . Manufacturer notifed and informed nothing could be done.
It's been four months since my last check engine light came on. On 05/10/04, my check engine light came on again. This is the forth time since 10/06/03. I took it back to the dealer and the service person, dale, told me it could be numerous things (e-val, transmission, computer or shift solenoids). Wow! Did someone say transmission?
