Typical engine symptoms owners report

  • Owners report coolant leaking from the engine repeatedly, even after multiple dealership repairs, sometimes leading to overheating and engine replacement.

  • Owners report water intruding through the windshield cowl into the engine bay, wetting components such as the crankshaft position sensor and causing the engine to stall while driving.
