 Oh the tears I have shed.  I have owned two of these vehicles.  One was 3.4 v6 and the one I have now is 2.7 v6.  I truly loved this car enough to purchase my second one.  I didn't drive my first one but for 30,000 miles. It had 67,000 miles on it when I traded it in.  I have been very happy with the vehicle and would have purchased a third one had I not lost my career employment.  I drove over 1,000 miles per week so went through 100,000 mile warranty in two years or so.  It has been a mechanically sound vehicle until the latter years.  I have experienced power steering going out, while driving in the rain, and no one can find why it does that.  Now I can't use the  hand operated door open and lock because it triggers something to do with the parking lights or signal lights not sure which, coming on and won't go off. I can hear a ticking sound like the signal lights.   When this happens and I do not realize it the car is dead the next morning and I have to jump it.  Plus the automatic lock feature is not a good idea.  The seats are not that good. They were hard when I bought the car new and they are hard now 11 years later.  Now the paint is peeling off on the hood and the clear coat is coming off in other places causing the paint to peel.  On the hood the paint was peeled by a hard rain, not hail, but rain.  It peeled on the hood on each side and in the same place on each  side.  Strange to say the least.  The clear coat had not come off on the hood but paint still peeled.  I have persuaded a few friends to purchase this car because of its performance which I can say is the best on the highway.  But now that they have seen how my paint has done they are reconsidering.This was to be my last car because now I am old and unemployed and can't purchase another car.  I was so proud of the one I have now because I took care of it. It still looked in appearance nice enough, but now is an atrocity from the paint peeling.  I could cry a lot over this.  Now the vehicle I once loved has turned cold like the car.  T
