What owners wrote
This is the worst car (lemon) I have ever had. I bought this car from a used car dealer ship called new car alternative in livonia mi. I am now on my third engine in the car. The first 2 failed due to the head gaskets blowing and anti-freeze was mixing with oil in the engine causing engine failure. All car window motors have be replaced 4 or 5 times each and still don't work. Back two doors are broke one wont open the other wont close.
I had to replace transmission due to severe slippage 2nd to 3rd gear. 82000 miles on it. Drivers power window system needed repaired. Pass front inop. Radio know is screwed up.
