What owners wrote

Consumer complained about vehicle hesitation. Dealer was contacted, and had replaced the throttle body sensor. Also ABS light turned on dash, as well as the gauges. Dealer was contacted ands stated that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle.

Broken/leaking brake lines due to severe underbody corrosion: frame,brake and gas lines, front suspension, spare tire assembly, nuts, bolts, exhaust pipes, etc. Along with this I replaced two transmissions, once due to radiator failure, fuel pump failure, brake caliper failure, a few sets of rear parking brake shoes because the adjustments dont work properly, three window regulators and all within 163,630 miles. Yea I'm pis@#$ off.
