“Water pump issues, dealer supposenly fixed months ago. Car is like new with 40k + miles and already water pump replaced. Then noticed smoke & burning smell like possible fire from engine area a week ago while car in idle, I then took it to dealer next day and something wasnt replaced by dealer during water pump exchange/replacement. I think is a lie, I certainly think vehichle have that steering issue. Also passenger door from inside didnt open anymore which is a serious safety issue. But car like I said is like new to me for it to be 3 years old with 40k miles. …”
