Repairmen called to see if consumer's vehicle would be covered, only 1994-1995 would be repaired free, 1993 vehicles weren't covered. …”
NHTSA complaint #880473, filed 2001-02“The described vehicle evidently had a water pump go out. The vehicle gauge never indicated vehicle was hot, so there was no warning when the vehicle overheated and quit running. While traveling 65 MPH on interstate 70, we lost braking and steering capacity and were fortunate not to have to brake or maneuver aggresively. There were 4 persons in the vehicle who can attest that the warning system did not work.”
NHTSA complaint #751797, filed 2001-09“Vehicle had blown a head gasket twice within past two years. Dealer has been contacted. During replacement of radiator and power steering the mechanic poured, by mistake, a metal cleaner into the radiator which resulted in unpleasant odor.
