Water pump locked up, causing timing belt to break, causing instant engine fairure. This left me in the middle of a very busy highway at risk of collision. The police had to block the lane I was in until a tow truck could remove the car. It is my understanding the water pump P/N has been superceded because of high failure rates.

The problem with the coolant system is related to the water pump, specifically the O ring seal. My vehicle has overheated on 5 different occasions. Each time, I pulled to the side of the road as soon as I noticed the temp needle in the red or the idiot light illuminating. Once cooled down, I refilled the coolant resevoir and went along my way. Each time, I verified operation of the thermostat and the condition of the hoses. It's finally been narrowed to a bad O ring seal. I am very concerned about latent heat damage internal to the engine. The window seal problem is very irritating. The wind noise at speeds above 50 mph is obnoxious. I've had it checked, but nothing was ever done under the warranty (to my knowledge). The window lock problem was due to a dislocated spring lock. I repaired it myself by repositioning the spring and reinstalling the assembly. Finally, the weather seal problem is worrisome to say the least. There is a musty smell indiciative of a water leak within the vehicle. I have not found it yet and I am very concerned about mold/mildew/rust damage to the entry and pooling sites. Please advise me as to any recalls/service bulletins that apply to these problems. Thanks.

Have had repeated problems with this car since purchase 2 years ago. Water pump has been replaced at least 3 times. Check engine light keeps coming on, unable to determine cause. Rough idling since water pump #2 - unable to determine cause. Power steering failure. Numerous minor problems with interior/exterior that do not seem to stay fixed for any length of time. (we consider this car a lemon!!!!)

Every two months the car overheats. We have brought it to two different mechanics and they can't seem to find the problem. Have replaced thermostats and sensor to no avail.
