I am shocked these items have already worn out on a car that has only 50,500 miles and is only used for pleasure. *Tt

When this cars gas tank goes below a half tank, the gas chamber does not allow gas to flow into the tank. For some reason,the gas pump releases or worse the fuel overflows. The safety or risk here is that one can get stranded, be in a strange town, far from home late at night, without the ability to fill the tank. I have reported this problem to my local dealer on many occasions but without any resolution. *Jb
Dt: the front passenger door will not open. The latch broke inside the door. All the other mechanisms worked. The problem occurred on april of 2005. They were unable to repair the latch without causing damage to the vehicle. The dealership was still not guaranteeing that they could fix the problem. *Ak
