I have specific problems similar to complaint ODI id number : 10165481. 1. my brakes would vibrate terribly when going down hill. This happened after about 10000 miles on the care I replaced them with ceramic pads and resurfaced the rotors this largely fixed the problem. 2. radio has a short that causes radio to go on and off intermittently. If a cd is put in the cd player and left there while radio is in use, the radio works fine. Mileage was approximately 63000 3. engine began making clacking noise about 8 months ago. Didn't do anything about the clacking noise yet.
