Recent owner complaints
- Engine and engine cooling › Engine › Gasoline
I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY OIL DISAPPEARING. IT IS NOT BURNING OFF, AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS CHECKED FOR LEAKS, WHICH DO NOT EXIST. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE IN MORE THAN 5 TIMES OVER 1.5 YEARS FOR THIS PROBLEM, AND THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT FIX IT SINCE IT IS NOT MORE THAN 2 QUARTS OF OIL DISAPPEARING PER 3,000 MILES (IT'S ONLY ABOUT 1.5 QUARTS). *NM
- Service brakes, air › Antilock
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING PROBLEM. WHEN I HAVE TO STOP FAST/HARD DUE TO TRAFFIC THE BRAKES MAKE A GRINDING SOUND AND THE CAR KEEPS GOING. THE DEALER REPLACED AN SENSOR AFTER MY 4TH COMPLAINT ABOUT THE PROBLEM. IT WORKED FOR A WHILE BUT THE PROBLEM IS SLOWLY COMING BACK. ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS PROBLEM?*AK
- Steering › Steering wheel/handle bar
THE STEERING WHEEL INTERMITTENTLY LOCKED UP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 4 OCCASIONS. *JB
