What owners wrote
The exhaust manifold was falling out causing vehicle to lose gas mileage. Vehicle experienced pulsated brakes when driving on the hwy at 55 MPH. Dealer replaced brakes and surfaced rotors to correct the problem. Brakes failed after serviced. However, the calibers got very hot which boilded the oil in the brakes system which caused the failure.
350 cid engine threw rod at 69,000 miles. Replaced with new mr goodwrench engine. New engine stops mysteriously on highway after about 300 miles. Restarts easily before it coasts to a stop. One time it had to sit nearly half an hour before restarting. Dealer cannot fix the problem.
