"Very average"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Immediately had a problem with loud squeaking brakes and sometimes prematurely wearing brakes in the rear.

Daytime running lamps stayed on, removed fuse.

Car is now immobile because of bad steering. Don't know problem yet.

General comments?

I have read the various comments on this model car on this website and I feel fortunate that I have not had some of the same experiences. I have replaced the rear brake pads three times. The last time I bought top of the line pads and the brakes are now quiet and stop well. I never investigated the daytime running lamp problem because that is the only thing on that fuse. I have had a few people tell me that my steering problem is either the rack and pinion or the tie rods. I have read on here that those are both normal problems.

I wrote this review. I have had the car repaired. It was both of the inner tie rods. Car now handles better than ever. I forgot how much I enjoyed driving this car.
