At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 17,000, and at the time the mechanic was servicing the vehicle, it was discovered that the mileage was 224,000.

ALWAYS WHEN VEHICLE IS IN LOWER GEAR, WITH RPMS BETWEEN 1-2, THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY BEGIN TO VIBRATE/SHAKE AND FEELS LIKE YOU'RE RIDING OFF THE ROAD ON AN INTERSTATE (LIKE THE SPEED RIDGES IN THE PULL-OFF LANE. IT IDLES GREAT, SEEMS TO CHANGE GEARS SMOOTHLY (AUTOMATIC). SOMETIMES THE VIBRATION IS MINIMAL BUT OTHER TIMES IT'S QUITE NOTICABLE, BUT USUALLY LASTS LESS THAN 15 SECONDS. IF THE RPMS ARE OVER 1.5 IT ONLY DOES IT LESS THAN 5 SECONDS. I WONDERED IF IT IS FAULTY MOTOR MOUNTS OR TRANSMISSION MOUNTS? I'VE HAD TIRES ROTATED, BOUGHT A NEW SET OF TIRES, SHOCKS ARE FINE. I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING.
I HAVE TO REPLACE SPARK PLUGS EVERY WEEK. THE ENGINE EITHER KEEPS MAKING THE PLUGS FOUL OUT, OR IT BURNS THE TIP RIGHT OFF THE ENGINE. I'M STARTING TO SEE FROM THE COMPLAINTS THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH MY 6 KIDS BECAUSE OF HOW BAD IT KEEPS MISSING AND TRYING TO DIE. I CHANGE PLUGS THEN DRIVES WELL FOR ABOUT A WEEK.

FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING 45 MPH. BRAKES WERE APPLIED TO SLOW DOWN BEFORE A CURVE. AT THE POINT THE FRONT WHEELS LOCKED UP AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROCK BACK AND FORTH AND SWERVE ON THE ROADWAY. TO PREVENT A ROLLOVER THE VEHICLE WAS STEERED OFF THE ROAD WHEN IT JUMPED AN EMBANKMENT AND PLOWED THROUGH 25 FEET MUD AND BRUSH BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE BRAKES WERE COMPLETELY INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF AND LEFT UNTIL IT COULD BE TOWED OUT. AFTER A FEW HOURS THE CALIPERS RELEASED. THE SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN. WHEN ACCELERATED WAS PRESSED THE FRONT WHEELS WERE LOCKED UP AND THE BACK WHEELS WERE SPINNING. VEHICLE WAS PUT IN PARK, SHUT OFF, RESTARTED AFTER A FEW MINUTES AND CALIPERS WERE STILL LOCKED UP. VEHICLE WAS TOWED HOME AND CALIPERS RELEASED AFTER A FEW HOURS. CAR HAD ONLY BEEN RUNNING FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES WHEN THIS HAPPENED. AFTER DIAGNOSIS IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE BRACKETS THAT HOLD THE BRAKE LINES ON THE FRONT FAILED AND WHEEL ROTATION WERE THROUGH THE LINES WHICH CAUSED THE BRAKE LINES TO INTERMITTENTLY COLLAPSE. ALL BRAKE LINES, CALIPERS, TIE RODS, SHOCK/STRUTS, BRAKES, ROTORS, UPPER CONTROL ARMS AND LOWER BALL JOINTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ON BOTH FRONT AND REAR. VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 180,000 MILES WHEN BOTH INCIDENTS OCCURRED 3 MONTHS APART.
