What owners wrote
Afterfueling up and without any warning gasoline splashed outside of the tank. Dealer replaced tank solenoid, but problem still occurring.
My car had something go wrong with the intake gaskets to where the plastic melted to the engine, the car had to be taken in for several days and the engine had to be taken out and cleaned and all of the intake gaskets were replaced. The car still does not run properly, when attempting to pick up speed or climb a hill the car does not shift and at times looses speed. This continues to this day, the dealer states nothing is wrong.
