problem #1

Sep 172010

Rio LX 1.6L 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 43,500 miles

The hood latch cable either broke or came off. It was always hard to use and I guess it finally gave out. Will take it in next week to get fixed. Will update when completed.

Update from Oct 17, 2010: The cable was in a bind. The deakership ordered 3 parts to fix it. The parts came in a week later and they were put on. The whole process was under warranty so it was free. It works great now. Bigredsports in Norman, Oklahoma came through with shining colors.
