problem #1

Montana

  • miles
At 28,000 miles, the general tires that came w/the vehicle were completely bald & had to be replaced. They were supposed to be 80,000 mile tires & had been rotated numerous times, the cooling system: While on vacation, the cooling system overheated. Told by dealer out of town that radiator cap loose & was tightened. 3 weeks later low coolant light kept coming on & took to dealer on 8/12/00. Told coolant system dirty & needed to be flushed; $100. Also told battery that came w/vehicle was leaking acid which also ruined battery positive cable. Both needed to be replaced. Said out of goodwill would not charge for battery cable but charged $98 for battery. Brakes started to fail @ 11,000 miles, rotors cut @ 28,000 & told rotors not under warranty because not considered safety problem. Rotors still warped & need cutting. Brake light socket was melted to light & was fixed by dealer early on.( dot number: Acm3kmi368 tire size: P215-70R15 )
