"A reasonable, solid car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Oil light always on, even though no oil change necessary

problem with heat sensor to engine, which caused automatic shutdown of transmission--unplugging it seemed to solve the problem.

Catalutic converter replaced afte 125k

motor mount replaced after 125 kr

heater core replaced at 127k

funny noises from steering wheel it you turn it too much.

General comments?

I think it is a pretty good, reliable sturdy car, not too fancy, but has served me well. a little greedy on gas particularly now that gas prices are up. Comfortable, medium sized. Handles fine.

I Have the same problems with mine. The Oil Light always being on, is a result of the oil sensor... got that replaced and it came defective from dealership.

Had to replace the heater core also... it dumped anti-freeze in my car when it broke.

Knobs for the heater and a/c just fall off.

Motor mounts busted also.

I used to have a 93 Grand Am that made that noise when you turned the steering wheel. That is your power steering pulley. Just spray a little CRC or WD-40 on it (NOT ON THE BELT) and after a few times you use it, it will eventually stop. In the winter it tended to do that more often due to the cold weather, but after awhile it did stop.
