T-R-A-N-S-M-I-S-S-I-O-N!!! Thank god for warranties! I got it to the dealership with 8 miles to go before the warranty was up. It took 2 weeks to fix because I insisted on a brand new transmission (after reading numerous sites like this, users said don't trust a rebuilt one). There was apparently only one new tranny in the whole U.S. Unbelievable. The guy I sold it to called me 3 months after I sold it to tell me the NEW tranny ALSO went bad on him.
Gas guzzler... averaged 13 mpg always. It drained my wallet substantially due to where I live, gas is HIGH.
Audio customization is a joke. The radio and A/C are all one unit & if you'd like a new radio, forget the creature comfort of cold air in the summer or heat in the winter.
RESALE VALUE! Ha, yeah sold for $3,000 under KBB. Almost couldn't pay to get rid of this heap.
I hated the electronic gas meter display. If you were 50 miles to empty, the meter stops counting down & you'd just have to guestimate.
Complete lack of engine, exterior and interior upgrades.
Auto Sunroof motor would stall half-way when closing and you'd have to hit it again to close the rest of the way.
Even though I may say some good things about this P.O.S., don't think about buying one. If someone offers you a great deal on one, just run... run far, far away.
A very unique ride is why I was attracted to it. The exterior and interior are very stylish and gadgety.
The car was powerful and had get up and go. If it wasn't for the horrible MPG, it would make a great road trip car.
That's about all you're going to get out of me... thank god this LEMON is out of my life.
The part where you said the sunroof stops halfway while closing, well, mine did that too, but it is supposed to do that for some reason. It's an intentional design. Also, I don't know why you've had so many problems, I had a 2002 Axiom until 74,000 miles and I had few problems with it. All I did was change the oil every 3000 miles and it was fine. The only huge problem that occurred was the wiring harness came loose and melted on the exhaust and allowed the car to only move backwards, but, it was covered under warranty and the replacement came with better designed clips to prevent it from happening again; it took two days to repair. I will admit that the front brake rotors were a bit difficult to change because they were behind the hub assembly and you had to remove it to get take the assembly in to a machine shop to have the rotor pressed off. The other problem was the fuel gauge would drop to empty, but then go back up to the actual reading, so it was no big deal. I love the way the car looked, drove, and handled. I loved this car, but we got rid of it to purchase a 1988 Chevy Camaro with 13,000 original miles. In the long run, I wish we had kept the Axiom anyway because it was a great, reliable vehicle.
