There  has been nothing but problems, heart ache and mostly financial 
difficulty  because of this car since the  
day I  purchased it.
 
     Listed  below are just some of the problems I can list of which 
hardly any of them were  covered with that  warranty
I was  given plus purchased the extra care plan.
 
     Numerous complaints to chapman and southshore on electrical 
issues such as radio  blinks on and off at times,   they claimed I needed new 
fuses.  Still does it to date! Hesitation complaints consistantly.
 
1.         window nick fixed brought back day after  purchased
2.         new battery ( car died out on  highway) (wasnt covered) April  2003
3.         new tires in April of 03  (wasnt  covered)
4.         new parking Break (part  covered not  labor)
5.         numerous complaints on car hesitation as of Feb 2004.  
6.         new brakes - pads and rotors  (wasnt covered)   6/11/04
7.         Heat and air only working on  highest speed (wasnt covered)  6/11/04
8.         again complained still  hesitates and shuts down  6/11/04
9.         6/20/04 car breaks down again  - (not covered for towing or repairs 
            charged for new spark plugs,wires and kit  coiles.
10.        complained of back door handle  gets stuck (finally something covered) 
             actually just received recall on this  today.
11.        3/28/05 car hesitation getting  worse once again, engine light - replaces 
            wires, plugs, fuel and air filters and  heater hoses.
12.       3/30/05 back to shop - car hesitates  again now worse with engine 
light back on.  4/5 received new Sensor (not  covered)   - local mechanic 
referred to chapman on consistant  hesitation and engine light ( reports that is 
must be the sensor as they have to  change them so often) 
13.       As of today 4/6/05 vehicle is now parked  at home, hesitation is 
worse, stalls and engine light comes back on.
 
           Not to mention  the many recalls I received in the past 3 yrs, 
some of which they mention the  hesitations, engine lights, electrical 
performances ( how about the numerous  recalls that mention this before It was in my 
hands- were they really  fixed)?
