| I supposedly had a gasket put on my vehicle but i still have a water leak. i see there were recalls on heads or gaskets. i also had brakes and rotors put on my car which i still have problem with . i have paid over$400 to get that gasket put on. when i use my air conditioner the power of my engine weakens and i hear valves rattling. i do not know the owner of the vehicle every get these things fix when there were a recall for them or not. i also had to put a transmission sensor on the vehicle. it is one thing after another for this vehicle. i thought maybe because of the age of the car. but after looking at the recall of the vehicle. i basically have to restore the vehicle. the dealer where i took my car told me that i had a recall on my brakes but i do not think they did anything about. then i was also told that i needed work for the startling and power of my vehicle. when i purchased this vehicle after one week it was in the shop for the gasket. about a month later then i needed that transmission sensor. i do not believe my car never stopped dripping water. i do not know exact date. i still hear the roaring sound when i hit my brakes. *jb | |||
