Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Engine was replaced at 87,000 miles under recall for head gasket failure. 30,000 miles later engine head blew up again due to the placement of a helicoil in the re-manufactured engine. This helicoil was present in the re-manufactured engine from the factory. I consider this to be a defect in the re-manufactured engine, as the head should have been machined by the factory not just have a helicoil stuffed in. This iis the cause of the new failure and for refuses to repair.”
