What owners wrote
Egr valve allowed water into hydraulic line, causing brake power assist to fail. This made brake pedal "rock-hard", making it difficult to stop vehicle. Problem occurred sporadically, only under wet driving conditions.
Oil leaked from failed head gasket or cracked head, exhaust leak from head or manifold. Speedometer dial stop working. The car only has 30000 miles on it. My repair man wants $500.00 just to tear down the engine to see if it is the gasket or a cracked head, and thats just the labor and not including parts. This is a safty problem that should be cause for a recall. How many complaints or lives will it take before NHTSA takes action aganist this car manufacturing company?
