What owners wrote
Consumer took vehicle back to the dealer to have alarm put on. Since then power door locks unlocked and locked by themselves. Cosumer has taken it back several times to be fixed, but no remedy solution found.
The left front strut tower has broken off from rust on the frame and is pushing up against the hood. My mechanic advised me that the vehicle is unsafe to operate at all and as a result of this failure I was forced to go out and purchase a new vehicle. I am the original owner of this vehicle and it has been meticulously maintained. It presently has just under 110,000 miles on it.
