What owners say
Engine head gaskets blewout 3 times, and engine heads cracked twice. Dealer claimed defect was due to radiator. *ak consumer first had problem with vechile leaking oil, dealer replaced the valve cover and head gasket, vehicle leaked again and dealer replaced the front cam and crankseal, vehicle leaked oil a third time and dealer replaced cam seal and pcv valve, dealer later found cracked cylinder head and scored piston and replaced both, vehicle then began to overheat, dealer stated it needed a new thermostat, however it overheated again and the cylinder head had cracked again, later dealer stated that the radiator was the source of the problem, that it was causing the engine to overheat and it caused cylinder head to crack, consumer stated that the temperature gauge never indicated any overheating except for the 2 times mentioned. Left axle replaced due to vibration, left axle shaft. Brake ligh ton, parking brake was sticking. Dealer replaced torque converter and leaking front pump in the transmission. Rotors were turned and dealer replaced brake pads due to brake wear. New dashboard installed. Repairs to airbag.
Overheating reported; original dealer replaced relay switch; upon request to examine head gasket problem, confirmed no problem. Second dealership examined car and said head gasket was blown -- $2000 repair. Same dealer advised pattern of head gasket problems in these models. Original dealer subsequently examined vehicle and denied problem. After further driving, problem recurred only now confirming head gasket. Cost of repair exceeds book value of vehicle, but one dealer already acknowledged pattern of problem. It seems, therefore, manufacturer should be responsible. Decision to repair must be immediate because of cost.
While sitting in traffic vehicle overheated due to radiator fan motor assembly breaking away from the motor.
Coolant system overheated, due to coolant fan coming apart, replace coolant fan.
