“I had major problems with the cooling system overheating. I had to replace every part of the system, radiator, thermostat, water pump, timing belt, radiator cap in order to maintain correct temp. At 118000 miles my speed gauge jumps and sometimes record speeds as high as 90+ MPH when I am approaching a stop. The speed sensor replacement is approximatley $200.”
