What owners wrote
Was driving approximately. 70MPH when engine head gaskets blew at 50k (1st time). Second time it happened was at 70k. Defect is still occurring when the anti-freeze drowns the engine & it stalls out. This also causes the engine to backfire.
Overheating at first then after the headgaskets were replaced the rod bearings failed which added another 1200.00 to the 1645.00 of the first repair and the power steering pump was replaced at the time of the first repair.
