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.
My son was driving the vehicle and ran into the back of a boat trailer. Speed at impact was approximately 30MPH. The vehicle he hit did not stop, we suspect he didn't even realize he had been hit and probably thought he just hit a bump in the road or something. The vehicle suffered front end damage typical of a 30MPH crash. What is very upsetting is that the vehicle caught on fire and burnt up.
The vehicle was involved in a collision, consumer attempted to apply the brake when the ABS locked up which caused the vehicle to skid out of control, also the airbags failed to deploy. There was 1 injury.
Dt: caller said both front axles broke. Car made a noise and when she took it in to have it looked at the dealer said that the right one rusted and the left one broke. Both windows will not go up or down. The dealer repaired the windows 4 times. A mechanic was fixing the axles. The manufacturer has been contacted, and caller is waiting for them to call her back. The date was when the windows started going bad. The axle problem started on july 6, 2005.
The passenger's side automatic window started making a grinding noise, slowed and eventually stopped working. I had to pull the window up while working the button. The same day the driver's side window was making the same sounds and also failed. I took off the inside of the passenger's door, I noticed that a plastic piece holding a metal cable on the window regulator had broken in half. When I checked the driver's door I saw it had broken in the same spot.
