THE WHEEL BEARING ON BOTH THE FRONT LEFT SIDE RIGHT BROKE TWICE AND THE RIGHT SIDE ONCE. THE FIRST INCIDENT , I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND SINCE MY WARRANTY WAS 90 MILES OVER, I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY WHICH I DID. I PAID EACH TIME TO HAVE THESE REPAIRED. IS THIS A NORMAL OCCURRENCE? I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR FEEDBACK. IF YOU REQUIRE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT ME. *JB

BAD PAINT JOB ON HOOD AT DELIVERY, RE-CLEARCOATED IT. NOISY CATALYTIC CONVERTER, REPLACED BAD WHEEL BEARING AND BRAKES NOW FAILING (COMPLETE LOSS OF FLUID IN REAR) HORRIBLE DASH SQUEAK THAT CANNOT BE LOCATED OR FIXED. AWD FLUID HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO "WRONG FLUID USED" AT ASSEMBLY. I BOUGHT THIS "0" DOWN AND "0" INTEREST & OWE $5,000 MORE THAN THE THING IS WORTH FOR A TRADE IN!!!! I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT IT IS WORTH A LITTLE MORE THAN 30% OF ITS PURCHASE PRICE AT 35000 MILES 3 MODEL YEARS LATER!!! IT LOOSES VALUE FASTER THAN I CAN PAY FOR IT!!!
