Dealership replaced twice the intake manifold that was leaking coolant inside the engine. Also, tires showed signs of excessive wear every 3000 to 4000 miles. Dealer had front and rear suspension aligned. The tires were rotated, but excessive wear still persisted. In addition, there was a brake problem.

Brakes fail completely when wet. Dealer cannot fix problem, claiming nothing can be found wrong.
