Consumer Description

COOLANT WOULD COMPLETELY DISCHARGE RANDOMLY AND THE PLASTIC HARNESS INSIDE THE STEERING WHEEL BREAKS WHILE TURNING, THUS RENDERING THE HORN / AIRBAG USELESS. THE HARNESS IS A $400+ REPAIR AND THE COOLANT SYSTEM RESULTED IN $2800 IN REPAIRS DUE TO A CHAIN EFFECT OF PROBLEMS. IT ALL STEMMED FROM A DEFECT OVERFILL CAP AND WATER PUMP. THE COOLANT DISCHARGE OCCURS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL-WELL AND COULD EASILY CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL. IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE A FUNCTIONING AIR BAG IF THAT WERE TO HAPPEN. *TR
