"I hate this car!!!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Bought car new. Had more squeaks and rattles than you can possibly imagine from day 1. This problem has plagued the car throughout its life.

Replaced engine fan at 70,000 miles.

Replaced brake master cylinder at 75,000 miles.

Replaced transmission at 85,000 miles.

Replaced transmission again at 104,000 miles.

General comments?

Worst initial quality of any car I have ever owned.

Was quite reliable until 70,000 - then the car started to fall apart.

Interior has held up very well.

Thin sheet metal - very easy to get dings and dents.

My transmission and ABS pump went at 86,000...front hubs too... power seat motor went too..$1000 to fix that.. window motor went on driver side. passenger side window motor on its way out... also BOSE CD player stopped working also... all of these problems the dealers only solution was to replace the VERY expensive parts.
