Consumer Description
I'VE HAD REPEATED FAILURES THAT HAVE REQUIRED MULTIPLE REPAIRS 1. ENGINE KNOCKING- REPEATED REPAIRS, UPPER END REPLACED KNOCKING AND ENGINE ROUGHNESS STILL THERE 2. TRANSMISSION- FAILURE OF CLUTCH PLATES, REPLACED PROBLEM NOT RESOLVED, TRANSMISSION SLIPPING IS INCREASING 3. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE: THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN, NOTHING OPERATES EVEN THE HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS- THIS HAS OCCURRED A MINIMUM OF 8 TIMES. RELAYS, SWITCHES WIRING BATTERY GET EXTREMELY HOT UNTIL BATTERY BLEEDS DOWN.
