I paid for a recurring problem even though I bought this car brand new to avoid these types of problems, and still made my car payments to the bank. I really would appreciate your assistance. …”

“Vehicle experienced engine problems, valve cover was replaced, head gasket was replaced after leaking, 7000 miles later head gasket was replaced again, and there was an oil leak.”

“The consumer stated that since purchasing vehicle in 1994, has replaced three alternators, along with three batteries. In addition, water leaks from the radiator. The manufacturer has been contacted.”
