1 Engine Oil Leaking problem

Failure Date: 12/18/1999

Oil in my engine poured out and engine locked up would not keep oil in it. Had to replace brakes twice I one year because of brake fluid leakage then finally it got so bad had to replace the rotors on front end, my temperature gauge for the outside just happen to start going crazy one day as I was driving along on a trip to the beach and has been in correct ever since. And by the way I am still making payments on this vehicle. I has been more trouble than a joy.

2 Engine Oil Leaking problem

Vehicle is a lemon. Engine was leaking oil and making noise. Dealership told consumer that the crankshaft inside had to be replaced. Also the tires had to be changed every three months because treads on tires wore out.
