"Good car, very unreliable and high maintenance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Oxygen sensor
Mass air flow sensor
Water pump
Front and rear Gaskets
Sun roof assembly.
General comments?
Drives great, but very expensive to maintain
The dealer labor charges are outrageous and the local mechanic would not touch the car because he says "too many parts"
