Consumer Description

HAD COOLANT LEAK FROM INTAKE GASKET AT 65,000 MILES. HORN DOES NOT WORK AGAIN (BEEN TO SHOP 3 TIMES PREVIOUSLY) 2 TIMES COULD NOT DUPLICATE, 1 TIME REPLACED SPRING IN SWITCH. THIS WAS WHILE UNDER WARRANTY, NOW THAT IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, THE DEALERSHIP HAS ASKED ME TO PAY $188.34 TO FIX A SHORT UNDER THE AIRBAG. THIS SHORT HAD TO EXIST PREVIOUS TO THE WARRANTY EXPIRING. I HAVE NEVER OPENED THE STEERING WHEEL COVER. ALSO, WHEN VEHICLE WAS LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD, THE BRAKES WOULD PULSE AND MAKE HEAVY RUMBLING NOISE WHENEVER TRYING TO DEPRESS THE BRAKES GOING DOWN A VERY MINOR HILL. HAD DEALER REPLACE PADS, STILL EXHIBITED SAME BEHAVIOR. *JB
