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.
