The valve was replaced, but the vehicle experienced additional failures. The front end vibrated and the engine stalled while driving 65 mph. The dealer performed diagnostic testing, which indicated that the engine mount was worn, the struts leaked, and the evap system failed. However, the valves were replaced. The engine mount, struts, and evaporating system were not replaced. The rotor also wore prematurely and could not be resurfaced. The front bumper clips failed due to defective plastic. The clips were replaced several times; however, the failure was not corrected.

The vehicle was taken to the dealer on two separate occasions for the identical failure. The failure was contributed to warped brake rotors which were resurfaced twice at the dealers expense.

The manufacturer was notified and they advised that there was not a recall defect related to the problem and the defect was not under the service warranty. The failure mileage was 10,000. The current mileage was 30,000.
