| The described vehicle evidently had a water pump go out. the vehicle gauge never indicated vehicle was hot, so there was no warning when the vehicle overheated and quit running. while traveling 65 mph on interstate 70, we lost braking and steering capacity and were fortunate not to have to brake or maneuver aggresively. there were 4 persons in the vehicle who can attest that the warning system did not work. *ak | |||

| At 50,000 miles, numerous problems started occurring. repairs totalled$2700. the repairs included replacing the abs indicator ring, wheel speed sensor, blower controller,door lock actuator,head gasket, valve cover, oxygen sensors & oil pan. the most costly repairs involved the head gasket issue where the 4th cylinder was leaking coolant into the engine. the first service was performed on the car on 11/30/99 when the head gasket issue was detected. the car had to be towed two times and required three additional visits to the garage to complete the work. to this day, the car still idles rough and the check engine warning light comes on periodiacally....indicating more than likely, more head gasket problems. *ak | |||
