“After purchase within the first year, ignition switch locked up and motor went out on the power windows. Next problem was a major oil leak. Should have known then that I would have more problems down the road. Repaired by dealership at approximately 67,000 miles. Was told that front and rear oil seals were replaced. Now at 77,000 miles am being told that motor needs replacement. No warning lights came on. Oil changes were maintained regularly. Timing chains in motor have broke. Still owe on vehicle and warranty has expired at 72,000 miles. …”
