"I love my car, but I would give anything to keep it out of the shop"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

My shifter would not shift. Took it to the shop.

My transmission went out, at 70,000.

My front end shakes every time you push the brakes.

Tires wear out very fast.

Signal light indicator, sometimes makes a loud noise.

General comments?

I love the car, it is very comfortable inside.

However, after the first three days of owning it, the gear shift got stuck, and I had to have it towed. They said it was a wire in the shifter.

It had brand new tires on it. After 10,000 miles, they were rough and bald.

Every time you push on the brakes, the car shakes in the front end. We thought it was the tires, but it was not, had the brakes looked at, but they were OK, so I just deal with it.

I bought the car when it had 50,000 miles on it, after 20,000 the transmission went out. While it was in the shop, they told me that the transmission had been replaced at 29,000 miles and I can't understand why this is the third transmission for this car.

The signal light indicator makes a very funny roar noise when it wants to.

The car has been in the shop 6 times since June.

If my car had to be in the shop 6 times in a 6 mo. period, I'd be trading it in, period.

If your front end is shaking when you brake, that's most definitely your rotors that need to be replaced.
