| Horn is hard to blow. rear end makes whining noise and it started using 5 quarts of oil between oil changes. i only have 36000 miles on it. they replaced manifold intake gasket at my expense. the fuel gauge does not work right. luckily i didn't ruin the engine that i know of. i understand there have been a lot of problems with intake gaskets. how long does it take to get a recall on defective parts? *jb | |||
