I have had a problem with my oil disappearing. It is not burning off, and the dealership has checked for leaks, which do not exist. I have taken my vehicle in more than 5 times over 1.5 years for this problem, and the dealership will not fix it since it is not more than 2 quarts of oil disappearing…
Anti-lock braking problem. When i have to stop fast/hard due to traffic the brakes make a grinding sound and the car keeps going. The dealer replaced an sensor after my 4th complaint about the problem. It worked for a while but the problem is slowly coming back. Anyone else have this problem?*ak
The steering wheel intermittently locked up. The vehicle was taken to the dealership on 4 occasions. *jb
