02/10/10 2.00 At 100,400 miles, both catalytic converters are out. They want almost 2k to replace. Cant pass smog, registration expired. I never had to get a smog until now and it can't even pass a smog test the very first time a test is due. Very disappointing!

09/30/08 4.00 Great solid vehicle. Do not like the transmission or universal joint noise. Have been told this is normal and as an engineer...this is clearly a design problem.
2003 Lance W. MOBILE

09/15/08 4.00 I am having major rust problems all over the frame underneath. Everyone of the welds and wher the bolts are bolted together. I have not driven near the ocean at all. I am very unhappy with it. Ionly have 27,000 miles on the vehicle. There is a definite problem with this particular vehicle. I wonder if it came over on the boat and took salt water splash or was not properly undercoated at the factory.
2003 Luc S.
