What owners wrote

1. The vehicle has had a gas smell since purchase in 03. I had it into dealership whom said there was no problem. I found out from internet pages this is a common intake seal problem that should have been repaired while under 2 year extended warranty. Smell of gas has made persons sick. 2. Fan control switch fails and only works on #3 setting or higher. 3. Turn indicators fail intermittently. 4. Electronics computer fails intermittently and has to be reset by turning the car off and restarting.

Reported at 66,000 miles, December 2003 Injury

On the date below, I drove to work and parked. My gas gauge read just over 1/4 a tank. When it was time to go home, I got in my car and it wouldn't start. I called a friend and he said it could be out of gas. Luckily, there was a gas station close by, so I bought a gas container and gas. I put the gas in my car and the car started up fine. The gas gauge still read 1/4 a tank. This has also happened to me several times before and it gets really annoying.
