"I wish the problems / fixes were more widely known because it is a nice car despite all the problems"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The low tire pressure light comes on too often.

My fan for the heater/ac will not operate until I turn it to the 3rd position.

My automatic diver's seat got stuck as though it was off the track and would not adjust back and forth. My local garage mechanic took the seat out of the car and banged it several times. He reinstalled it and now it works fine, but I always wonder when it will stop again.

My security light came on, I could start the car, but then it would stall out. And then it would not restart for about 20 minutes. I discovered the problem was the ignition switch on the steering column. It was replaced at a cost of $525.00. Evidently the car thought that I was trying to steal it, so it kept turning itself off!

My taillights burn out very frequently.

The trunk torsion bar broke.

When the trunk is opened after rain, water drips into the trunk onto the trunk contents.

The car made a grinding sound when I turned the wheel either left or right.

General comments?

Despite all the faults I still love the car. It handles beautifully, it is comfortable, and it is sporty looking.

I agree totally.

It is a nicely appointed car. The leather interior is very nicely done.

The 8 speaker stereo system rocks.

Alotta maintenance, but a whole lotta fun.
