Consumer Description

LOWER RADIATOR GASKET HAS BEEN REPLACED 2 TIMES AND REINSTALLED 3 TIMES. THE ENGING COOLANT LEAKAGE HAPPENED 2 TIMES WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF PURCHASE. THE LIGHT/TURN INDICATOR BROKE OFF WHERE IT ATTACHES TO THE STEERING COLUMN WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. BATTERY ACID WAS LEAKING WHICH WAS CAUSED BY THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND OVERCHARGING THE BATTERY. AND SOMEHOW THE SERPENTINE BELT IS NOW DAMAGED. THE DEALERSHIP IS HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE STARTER NOT WANTING TO TURN OFF AND ARE GOING TO REPLACE IT IN HOPES THIS CURES THE PROBLEM. DT
