Vehicle would not start. Consumer had car towed to dealer, and they said vehicle needed a tune up and coil pack replace. Dealer said that plugs would not come out because they were stuck. So consumer was not able to drive vehicle because the plugs won't come out. Dealer charged a $1000 to take them out. The light at the rear of the vehicle failed. The starter failed three times. A/C failed. The gear shifter failed. The exhaust system failed. Brake caliper and rotor failed. Wires underhood rust out. Power steering hose failed.

I was told by local dealer the exahust manifolds were not covered under warnty. When I took the truck to my local dealership the first time reporting the problem they said the pinging at highway speeds was not a problem. Now weve had to pay a $1100 repair with less than 36,000 miles of use.
