Rest of vehicle has been worst piece of junk ever owned.”Owner report · Unknown Or Other · Feb 2003

“We have already replaced the transmission 4 times; appears a 6th is now needed. Two of the replacements have been "free" to us because they occured in less than 1 year from installation. This latest one lasted just a little over 1 year, which means that we will have to pay for it ourselves. This known issue should be fully covered by the manufacturer. In fact, I want reimbursement for all of the transmissions I have had to replace.*ak”Owner report · Power Train · Dec 2000
