From day one, the belt on the car made a chirping noise. The car had gone back to the dealer on 4 different occassions-and as of right now, the belt has been changed three different times, but the noise continues. When it rains, it gets a very loud squeaky noise. Additionally, the check engine light came on right after purchase. I took the car back to the delaer at least twice, and I was told it was the sensor, because the engine was fine. However, the check engine light continued to come on occassionally off and on. I had consistent oil changes and scheduled maintenance done, but last week, engine check light starting flashing. Come to find out, the #3 cylinder going into the engine was gone. I was told this had to be and on-going problem-it did not happen over night. Evidently, there was a problem exactly all the times the light came on. As a result, I had to pay over $2000 to get the car fixed.
Vehicle had been purchased more than 30 days ago & it already has stalled a couple of times. Also, gear shift shakes real badly, and engine check light comes on. Dealer can't find anything wrong.
Engine oil pan cracked causing an oil leaked which may have caused a fire. There are many other problems with vehicle, such as emergency parking brake failure, engine check light coming on. Please provide further information.
Engine check light illuminates, indicating a malfunction in the system. Also, while driving vehicle completely shutdown without warning. Cause unknown. Dealer could not identify the cause of the problem. Please give any further details.
