NHTSA complaint #10260331, filed 2009-02, 64,000 miles“There is a sqeak coming from the front end when I go over small bumps/dips in the road.

I have taken it to the dealer, but all they do is spray it with frigi-fresh, which only masks the smell for a short while.”
NHTSA complaint #763519, filed 2002-06“The radiator was empty, and here were traces of antifreeze on the inspection plug on the timing over.

The belt was in excellent shape. The water pump had suffered a catastrophic bearing failure. …”
