I wouldn't go that far. That sounds more like a driver problem. The 02 had a few tranny troubles, but the 03+ is ok. The engine just had a bad catalytic convertor design, it would get sucked into the engine at higher rpms. Also my friend found all his intake buttefly valves (sorta like a contour with secondary runners) to have lose screws. One got sucked into a cylinder and destroyed the spark plug. He got lucky and it only pitted the piston a little, just gave him a headache fishing the broken spark plug outta the engine.
