What owners wrote

Power steering pump- a few weeks after I bought my car I noticed a cavitating noise coming from the pump. The dealership found the pump to be defective and replaced it with a new one. No more problems since. Intake gasket- I could smell oil burning when I was stopped, and noticed oil puddles on the engine. The dealership found the intake gasket leaking. They gasket was replaced. At this present time, I can still smell oil burning and have since returned the car to the dealership.

Consumer had problems with the fuel gauge. Fuel gauge would read a completely wrong writing when the gas tank can be either on a quarter tank or empty. Manufacturer was contacted as well as the dealer, but they had told the consumer that there was no recall, and that there was nothing they could do.
