I got this car in 2008, and have had nothing but problems since the date I got it. I was told by dealer tough as it IS used. With trade ins and money for all repairs I have done thus far total well over $10,000 and I paid $8900.00 its recent repair was today front wheel bearing, had new wires and plugs put in thinking that would cure the spitting but car IS worse. I am having cat converter troubles, gas gauge dances so I never know when I am really running low. I have replace more parts than I can count, and I can not take it any more, but yet I need a vehicle to drive. I am raising my teenage daughter alone, and I will not allow her to drive this car when she gets permit, so there are less odds of a wreck. I can not afford to put any more money in this car but winter IS coming soon, and I need my 4 x 4 in good running order with no issues. I have replaced much of the water system, fuel pump, to many problems to mention. My car was on a tow truck one month after I got it, and I have been fighting with it ever since. You know the saying nickel and diming, I wish but in my case it IS taking me under and with out a job and so forth I am trapped. This vehicle IS dollaring me not nickel and diming. *tr
