What owners wrote
Vehicle caught on fire after it had been parked for more than 8 hours. Owner contacted the manufacturer and nothing was done.
Service engine soon light came on due to sensors in gas tank. I was unable to put gas in the tank because it would spit back out. When it was taken in for service I was told that this was a very common problem and that one part alone was $300.
