What owners wrote
A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
Hit a small pot hole and dented the tire rim and flattened my tire. This the 4th rim and 4th tire replaced since march of 2008. Replaced the rims and tires at approximately $1000/rimtire. These low profile tires/rims should not be sold.
Purchased car in august 2007, have driven 40,000 miles and have replaced 2 stock rims, 6 after-market rims and five relatively new tires due to just average potholes that any other car would simply roll over. Part of the problem is the low profile tires but there appears to be a deeper problem with the suspension. When this car hits a small pothole or even a deep manhole cover it takes a very hard, teeth jarring hit to the front end suspension.
Strong gas vapors and possible fuel leakage. Gas vapors are really strong when vehicle is parked in garage immediately. The gas vapors can be smelled while driving causing the fumes to be inhaled and dizziness. This can not be safe.
