What owners wrote

The brake and gas pedals can be hit at the same very easily causing the car to surge forward. The dealer knows it but will not stand by the car when I wanted to return it. Dt

November 2002 Crash

Hill descent control traction control and the ABS light constantly light up, I just bought my car,(less than 2 months ago) when applied brakes sometimes do not work properly. I went to the dealer where I purchased the car only to be told that there is no warranty on electrical systems, I took the car to a service dealer and I was told that it will cost approximately 2500 dollars! I had other problems and I am very disappointed with my purchase.
