What owners wrote
After stopping behind a line of stopped cars, I slowly removed my foot from brake pedal (have automatic transmission) and looked into my review mirror as car in front of me began moving. Suddenly I heard my engine race and immediately slammed into vehicle in front of me before I could react. My car looks like I hit something going at least 35 MPH. The vehicle in front of me was only 6 - 8 feet in front of me when I had started to remove my foot off my brake pedal.
I have had my clutch and transmission repaired since 9-02. Then I was told about a defective part in the transmission, but it was no repaired at the time. I was told I could drive the vehicle, so I believed the service technician. In 6-03, once again I the defective clutch assembly, flywheel, pressure plate, clutch plate and the throw out bearing were replaced, and the sunroof motor was replaced for the second time. On 10-03 sunroof was repaired again. On 5-04 the sunroof was repaired again.
