Well, I think I have bought a lemon!!! Here is what I have been back to the dealer for.

5-7-03 7372 Miles Took back to dealer for 4 things:
- Coolant leak
- SES light
- Trunk interior parts
- Burning oil smell.
5-13-03 7384 Miles Picked car back up from dealer.
- Coolant leak was from bypass tube at lower intake. Lower intake was replaced.
- Codes P1107 and P0107, both MAP sensor codes. Cleared codes.
- Replaced L/Side trunk carpet and trunk latch plastic cover.
- Dealer could not duplicate the burning oil smell.
7-01-03 8865 Miles Took car back to dealer for 4 things:
- Another oil leak started.
- SES light had been on 6 or 7 different times.
- Car is getting hard to start.
- Rattle under car.
7-01-03 8886 Miles Brought car back home same day.
- I was told that the oil leak was not bad enough to repair. If it wasn't dripping on the ground, it wouldn't be fixed!!!
- Looked at codes. P0107 had been logged 3 times. P01107 had been logged 4 different times. Nothing else done for codes!!!
- Problem not addressed. I was told to keep track of the times it was hard to start!!!
- Rattle not looked at. Car was not pulled into the shop at all!!
I have been there more times than that, but these are the ones that I have documented.
I bought the car in November 02 brand new.
I am going to give them one more chance to fix my car. After that, I am going to try to Lemon Law it. I have 9080 miles on my car, and over 500 of them have been going back and forth from the dealer to try to get it fixed.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the car, but I am having WAY too many problems with the engine. Oh Well.
