Example complaints

“Rear A/C actuator suddenly failed with no warning. Abs light came on and dealership said that an animal chewed through the wires to the ABS computer, which was odd because I live in the city of los angeles where this was unheard off. Cost me $688 and the ABS light remained on. I don't even have proof that they did anything. Transmission stopped shifting into overdrive. Dealership said that the ABS computer needs to be replaced. Cost me $450. Abs light went off, but transmission still doesn't shift into overdrive. Dealership now says that my overdrive band is worn. They quoted me $3,300 to fix. …”
