What owners wrote

Electrical sun roof experienced a fire which spread into the interior. Local fire department arrived and extinguished the fire. Vehicle was towed to dealer. Please provide any further details.

September 2000 Fire

Within four years approximately 8,000-10,000 miles both front brake rotors had to be turned twice and then replaced. Also, both front calipers had to be replaced. This causes vehicle to vibrate and make a grinding noise when braking. Dealer and manufacturer were notified, and were unable to locate the cause. The brakes pulsated while driving. The dash vent did not work, and the air only worked through the defrost.
