What owners wrote

I have had other problems with this car feul pump replaced , new head put on car, transmission screen and filter replaced because of leakage, brakes replaced rotors turned, broken motor mount, rear axle loose. Squealing noise on passanger side when turning or going around a curve. The transmission on this car also I think has a problem it hesitates when you first crank up the car it won' t go it acts like you are in neutral for a few seconds then it goes.
