What owners wrote
Dt*: the contact stated while in reverse the vehicle accelerated suddenly and ran into a cactus. As a result, the vehicle sustained body damage. The dealership inspected the vehicle; however they were unable to duplicate the problem. The vehicle was taken to an independent repair shop, which replaced the rear passenger door and panel. The manufacturer was notified; however no additional repairs were made. Updated 5/10/2006 - the dealer replaced the electronic control module.
Continuous problem with surging engine at idle. When stopped at a traffic light or coasting towards one, the engine surges unevenly inceasing the risk of an accident. I believe the cause is a faulty electric throttle module etm. Dealer will on;y replace a map sensor, but problem continues to exist.
