Consumer Description

POWER STEERING PUMP- A FEW WEEKS AFTER I BOUGHT MY CAR I NOTICED A CAVITATING NOISE COMING FROM THE PUMP. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND THE PUMP TO BE DEFECTIVE AND REPLACED IT WITH A NEW ONE. NO MORE PROBLEMS SINCE. INTAKE GASKET- I COULD SMELL OIL BURNING WHEN I WAS STOPPED, AND NOTICED OIL PUDDLES ON THE ENGINE. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND THE INTAKE GASKET LEAKING. THEY GASKET WAS REPLACED. AT THIS PRESENT TIME, I CAN STILL SMELL OIL BURNING AND HAVE SINCE RETURNED THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY ARE LOOKING FURTHER INTO THE PROBLEM. *AK
