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.
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.
