What owners wrote
When trying to proceed forward after stopping at stop sign vehicle would not go forward. Took vehicle to dealer, and had to replace transmission. This was the third transmission. The transmission failed repeatedly. The turn signals stop flashing when brakes are pressed due to multifunction switch failure. The engine looses coolant and overheated due to intake manifold gasket failure. Rear wiper was inoperative. ABS light comes on due to oxygen sensor failure. Right front tires failed and were replaced.
The coolant solidified in radiator. The dealer was notified but refused to assist with repairs. The consumer was later informed that the damage may be as a result of the dexcool coolant. *nlm *nlm
