Engine lights comes on, surges, misses, jerks, dies, tapping noise, loses power, these things have happened repeatedly. Other repairs 9-26-98 alternator, generator mileage 24662: 10-29-98 missing and rough idle couldn't find problem, mileage 25350; 3-22-99 plug and cable set changed again, mileage 29167; 4-12-99 replaced transmission part, mileage 29760; have talked to consumer assistant center, the dm, all I am told is to keep taking it in. Am very unhappy with this car and am afraid to drive it on the highways because it lost all power when driving on I- 65.was towed in 2 times because of no power.they offered for me to trade it in on a new car, that would mean another 5 yr. Loan and another $50 a month payment.I did not feel this was a very good solution.service dept.has been good as trying to find the problems, but I am not happy that they have not replaced this car at no cost to me, for all the problems I have had.
