| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I had frequent loss of coolant, and drips on my driveway surface. upon taking to dealer i was informed that intake gasket leaking. also i was told brakes were almost gone. at 53,000 miles this seemed excessive on both counts. the replacement of the intake gasket was about $700.00. replacing the pads and turning rotors cost $250.00. this makes the 3rd set of pads, and resurfacing of the second set of rotors since i bought the car new. shortly after the repairs the abs light started coming on whenever making a turn. brought the car into the dealer in may and was told that the front wheel bearing assy needed to be replaced. i was also told that this occurance had nothing to do with the recent brake job, even though there were no problems until i had the brake job done at their recommendation. the dealer, while acknowleding no blame paid 50% of the repair leaving me with a $200.00 bill. in little more that 30 days i have spent $1200 on critical part repairs for a well maintained car with only 53000 miles. *ak |
