“I believe ineffective repairs are being done and only the symptoms are being treated. I have two failed oil pumps, three failed water pumps, a failed alternator...and three attempts to fix various oil leaks....all within the last year. The exhaust bolts that were put on in may, 2003 weren't even on in august, a cover that goes under the radiator flew off on the highway...I am now wondering what else...in addition...there needs to be a cause to the constantly failing water pumps. The battery, alternator, AC, etc. Failures are minor in comparison.”
