MY CAR HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN SEVERAL TIMES FOR FAILURE TO START. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED INITALLY AFTER THE CAR STALLED AND FAILED TO START IN AN INTERSECTION ON 11/12/96. AT THIS TIME THE MAP SENSOR WAS REPLACED. SINCE THEN SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE DEALER HAVE NOT DIAGNOSED THE CONTINUING START-UP FAILURES DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY OCCUR SPORADICALLY. THE CAR DOES EVENTUALLY START. I HAVE CONTACTED ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THIS, AND NOW JUST "LIVE WITH IT." MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO RELEASE FROM PARK WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE INNER OVERRIDE SWITCH. I HAVE NOT BROUGHT THIS IN DUE TO PREVIOUS DISAPOINTMENTS AND LOATH OF LEAVING MY CAR AND ARRANGING TRANSPORTATION, AGAIN. MY DRIVERS DOOR HAS BEEN ADJUSTED AND READUSTED, HOWEVER THE GASKET WAS NOT REPLACED WHEN IT BEGAN TO SAG AS THEY FELT THAT I SHOULD PAY FOR THIS ON 9/16/96 WITH 7675 MILES. NEITHER SIDE WINDOW CRANKS UP OR DOWN, RATHER MUST BE PULLED OR PUSHED. ONE WINDOW WAS ADJUSTED JUST AFTER MY PURCHASE, THE DRIVERS SIDE WAS FIXED WHEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR WAS REPLACED FOLLOWING AN ACCIDENT, AND THAT WINDOW NOW DOES NOT WORK! I REPLACED 4 TIRES WITHIN 20,000 MILES DUE TO UNUSUAL PROBLEMS SUCH AS A "BROKEN BEAD" THE TIRE REPLACEMENTS WERE IN ADDITION TO WHEN I REPLACED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL TIRES AT @ 35000 MILES. THE TIRES THAT I REPLACED WERE HIGH QUALITY 70,000 MILE WARENTEED TIRES FROM SEARS. I HAVE 5 PAYMENTS LEFT TO CONPLETE MY SALES AGREEMENT, AND I AM UNSURE IF MY CAR WILL MAKE IT!!!
