Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING, MY CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD. THE TIMING BELT HAD BROKEN N.IT TOOK THE DEALER 3 WEEKS TO FIX IT. WITH THE HEAD GASKET, I BROUGHT THE CAR TO A SERVICE STATION 3 SEPARATE TIMES TO FIND OUT WHY IT WAS RUNNING HOT, BEFORE THE PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED. THIS HAPPENED ONLY WHEN THE CAR LEAKED OUT ALL OF THE ANTIFREEZE. I HAVE ALSO REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKES 4 TIMES AND THE REAR BRAKES 3 TIMES IN THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO DO THIS WITH ANY OTHER CAR THAT I HAVE OWNED. *AK
