Consumer Description

RECALL REPAIR DONE IN AUGUST 2014 FOR WELL PUBLICIZED LOCALIZED OVERHEATING OF CYLINDER HEAD ISSUE. HAVE HAD TWO INSTANCES OF OVERHEATING SINCE... THE LAST INCIDENT OCCURRED ON 2/19. THE VEHICLE WENT TO LOW POWER MODE AND INSTRUCTED MY WIFE TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY AND STOP ENGINE... SHE DID.... AFTER SITTING FOR APPROX 10 MINUTES SHE RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND TEMPERATURES RETURNED TO NORMAL HOWEVER THE ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW ON AND I WILL BE TAKING THE VEHICLE FOR REPAIRS AGAIN ON MONDAY. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE RELIABILITY OF THIS VEHICLE AND SPECIFICALLY THIS ENGINE OPTION. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT DAMAGE WAS CAUSED BY THIS LATEST INCIDENT... I'M SURE THERE WILL BE SOME RESIDUAL LONGEVITY IMPACTS IF I KEEP THE VEHICLE. I PREDICT THAT THIS ENGINE WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE ISSUES.. BOTH INCIDENTS DID OCCUR DURING EXTREME COLD (BELOW ZERO) SO IT SEEMS TO BE COOLING SYSTEM RELATED... WHICH WAS THE BASIS OF THE ORIGINAL RECALL. *TR
