Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The incident is the failure of the water pump, a slapping noise coming from the engine, at one point the leakage of coolant, and also the oxygen sensor. all of which were taken back to the dealer to be fixed by their mechanic except the oxygen sensor. however, the car still had a problem with idling as the car was being driven away from the mechanic. my husband had to jump out of the car because of the issues, on his way to work and the car was stopped by a pole. this is the second time that the vehicle was taken to the dealer to be fixed however, i believe that the first time that it was taken to the dealer the problem were just masked only for us to be brought back to them for them to get more money out of us. *nm
