Engine overheating, also the turn signals are erratic, when they do not work i have to turn my emergency flashers on, then off, and the turn signals work then. As far as the overheating goes, i took it in for repair (over $350.00) they said they found water in the oil and replaced head gasket. It still is not fixed. This car has 45,000 miles.

The paint on hood started chipping @ or about 30k dealer said not warranty problem. Beginning apr 2002 car intermitantly has had a "surging" immediately after starting & putting in gear. At first just 1 or 2 times in 3 or 4 mos. Now the last 8-9 weeks it has happened more & more frequently, then 2 weeks ago the cruise control became erratic in activation & now won't work at all.
