“When driving at any speed and applying the brakes, brake's went straight to the floorboard. Also, pcv valve went out, and transmission overflowed which caused the transmission fluid to get onto transmission and engine. Consumer had the engine rebuilt, and two water pumps were replaced. Engine check light kept coming on.”
