"I am scared to have my 5year old in the car with me."

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Faulty back hatch.

Spark plugs fail every 5000 miles.

Engine light turns back on within 30 miles of the repairing dealership.

Power supply weakens.

Paint chips easily.

Emission system problems (apparently cannot be identified)

General comments?

This car is a financial wreck.

The car has wiped out my savings just on repairs not covered (but what is covered?)

I have not had such a bad experience with my Spectra as this person. I have driven the car now beyond 80,000 and have just today lost a spark plug on one cylinder. Other than routine maintenance I have experienced no serious issues with the vehicle. The worst of my experience has been that the rubber trim has a tendency to get out of place.
