Burnsville, MN
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THE HEAD GASKET WAS BLOWN 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE, AND AGAIN A YEAR LATER. IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE TIMING BELT WAS REPLACED AT THAT TIME, YET IT BLEW A YEAR LATER. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THE HEAD GASKET NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN BECAUSE OF THE DAMAGE DONE TO THE VALVES WHEN THE TIMING BELT WENT OUT. I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE!

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING AT VARIED SPEEDS THE ENGINE COOLING ASSEMBLY DETACHED FROM ENGINE AND BLEW OUT ALL THE OIL IN ABOUT 30 SECONDS. I HAVE BEEN LEFT STRANDED 10 TIMES OVER THE LIFE OF THE CAR. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED THE CARE WAS ONLY 2 YRS OLD, AND THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY BROKE DOWN. THE PARTS WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. BUT THEY DID NOT HOLD UP. THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED ANOTHER 9 TIMES OVER THE NEXT 5 YEARS.
