"Disappointing reliability, and glad to be selling it shortly"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The trunk release broke and needed to be repaired.
The front seat belts were replaced under warranty, but the drivers belt still does not retract properly.
The 6 disc CD changer jammed and was replaced under warranty.
The automatic transmission failed twice and was replaced under warranty.
The front engine mount is broken needs to be repaired.
The brake light flashes on and off.
General comments?
The car is nice to look at, and handles and drives well.
The car gets decent fuel mileage, about 27hwy, 22 city.
The cabin is roomy and the seats are comfortable.
