TIRES, STEERING:LINKAGES
I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY OTHER OWNERS THAT THEY HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS WITH THERE LHS. I HAVE BOUGHT SEVERAL SETS OF TIRES BECAUSE OF THIS. ALSO I WAS TOLD THAT THE TIE RODS WOULD WEAR OUT AGAIN.COST FOR REPAIRS WERE 831.47. THIS IS UNREASONABLE FOR A CAR SO NEW. I HAVE NEVER HAD SUCH COSTLY REPAIRS ONSUCH A NEW CAR. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. THIS IS DEFINATLY A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. AFTER NEW REPAIRS MY CAR IS ALREADY MACKING SOME OF THE PREVIOUS SOUNDS.SOMTHING IS NOT RIGHT.THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
OUR MECHANIC STATED HE HAS REPLACE 9 TO 10 TIMING BELTS, IDLER PULLY, WATER PUMPS ON THE SAME TYPE OF CARS. IT SEAMS LIKE THE IDLER PULLY FREEZES, CAUSING THE WATER PUMP TO FREEZE, WHICH THEN CAUSES THE TIMING CHAIN TO BREAK. TOTAL COST TO REPAIR WAS 503.00 PLUS A LARGE TOWING BILL. I WOULD THINK A $85.00 PULLEY SHOULD BE MADE BETTER AS TO NOT CAUSE SO MUCH DAMAGE WHEN IT BREAKS.
