My vehicle has run rough, idling rough, "bucking", losing coolant and dripping from the tailpipe about a week after the extended warranty expired. I have had major valve train problems and had to have the camshaft replaced along with the gasket, cylinder head, core return, radiator and now the latest is oil pressure gauge sending unit. Oil pressure still showing zero even after replacing sending unit!
Clutch, flywheel all related parts failed, water leaking on passenger side floor, clock and radio broke dealer cant fix, seat belts wont retract, sway bars come loose
Catalytic converter went prior TO30,000 miles, had to be replaced ! gasket cracked at only 37.500 miles, leaking water into engine, had to be replaced. Car has only 37.500 highway miles !!!
While driving lost oil pressure and vehicle started smoking. Vehicle caught on fire, and the consumer extinguished the fire with a fire extinguisher. The manufacturer has been contacted. Oil was squirting out of the tope of the oil pressure sensor and running back on the catalytic converter, sensor failure and leakage caused fire.
Multiple failures since September, 1998. After warm-up, then 20 minute cool -down, car will not accelerate, backfires and off to nothing, then catches and goes. Have replaced fuel pump, engine crank sensor and $700 tuneup done- no luck
