What owners wrote

When driving at any speed vehicle wouldn't shift properly from first to second gear, and was shifting very hard. Lock on the driver's side door isn't locking properly. Also, water pump was replaced/ driver's side window motor went out, and there was a leakage in the sun roof which caused water to leak into vehicle on driver's side.

March 1999

Anti-glare chromatic fluid is leaking from driver's side mirror due to a defective seal in this mirror causing poor vision problems. Dealer quoting $440.00 to repair this safety issue. Believe this problem should be considered a safety issue since it is effecting driver's vison of oncoming traffic during lane changes during backing of the vehicle.
