Consumer Description

EGR VALVE CONTROLS ALL VACUUM SYSTEMS ALSO. SO WHEN THE PART FAILS YOU LOSE ALL BRAKES AND POWER. YOU WILL SUDDENLY FIND YOURSELF WITHOUT STEERING AND ANY *ANY* BRAKING POWERS. THE FAILURE CONTINUES AND ALL THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP CAN DO IS ADD NEW PARTS TO CHANGE. TOTAL COSTS OVER 2000 DOLLARS IN SIX WEEKS THIS LAST TIME. YET WITH LESS THAN THREE THOUSAND MILES ON THE CAR WITH THE LAST EGR VALVE THE PART FAILED. WE HAVE HAD THREE IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS. WE HAVE REPLACED NINE IN LESS THAN FOUR YEARS. THIS PART CAN ONLY BE BOUGHT FROM THE DEALERSHIP AT COSTS FROM 250 - 400 DOLLARS. THE COST IS BAD, BUT THE DANGER TO ALL INSIDE THE CAR IS EXTREME. WE ASK THAT YOU INVESTIGATE THIS PLEASE. *AK
