Weaknesses:
Transmission is faulty

Summary:
I give this car a one star. After 8 months (purchased brand new) the tranny had to be replaced because of slipping and not knowing what gear to be in when slowing down. The power steering had to be replaced also. Two months later the tranny had to be replaced again because the deferencial rod went through the casing, and guess what...once again the tranny needs to be replaced because of the slipping of gears when slowing down. Oh, and the door was a completely different color of Taupe than the rest of the car. I am the only driver of this car and am very particular when it comes to the care of this vehicle. So far, this is going to be the 4th tranny this car has seen since the assembly line. Is it a lemon? Or are the transmissions crap in these cars. I heard of this problem with the 2000's, but figured it wouldn't happen to me. Guess I was wrong.

Strengths:
Beautiful looks, really roomy and plush interior. What a shame it is such a terrible car.

Weaknesses:
brakes, A/C

Summary:
Do not buy this car..unless you want to look at it through the windows of the repair shop! I had the car less than 1 week when the problems started! You name it- brakes, A/C, seatbelt, squeaky doors....they have now replaced the evaparator in my A/C system 2 times with less than 11,000 miles! The first time was less that 50! This car is a lemon. DO NOT buy it unless you have a lot of time and money to spend!
