Complaint Description: i have had problem after problem...had rotors replaced 3 mos after purchase, complained of violent shaking numerous times. i was told this was b/c i had "after factory" wheels that were too big for my car. i learned to live with it. the next thing to occur was a loud noise while driving coming from front end wheels. in june of 2001, i had an a/c idler pulley replaced for $150. as soon as i drove away, the noise presented again. i finally gave up on sitting at the dlrshp for 3 hrs w/a 3 yr old, so i've learned to live with it...yet again. the noise still persists as of 2/02. in may of 2001, i began experiencing electrical problems. to date i've had all recalls svcd. upon the start of my car, the sunroof, lights, anything power, radio, etc., were not in function. i noticed this the first time after pulling away. numerous times thereafter (2x in rain) i started to pull out and turn on my w/shld wipers to realize nothing worked. my temp. fix was to shut off the car and restart again...praying. as of late...i have had my e brake light luminated for about 2 months, for no reason. my oil lamp light would come on here and there. when starting my car now, sometimes my radio will be "on" but, won't start working and will eventually come in from the back spkrs up to the front. the other temp fix i've found when things aren't working, is to turn the key slightly back toward me and it turns things on. on top of all this...my black weather stripping on top of my car has flown off (clips broke) this happened the first cold w/end of dec 2001. w/in 2 days, both flew off while i was on the hwy. i had to pull off to removed the remainder. and getting to the last but not least stuff...one day last week, my locks would not stayed in the locked position. i would lock all, reverse, turn, do anything and they would unlock themselves, miraculously, the next day it stopped. as of last night, my door ajar lamp is on and remains on & my dome lights -will not shut off.*ak .
