What owners report

  • The engine randomly dies or stalls while in traffic at random times and will not turn back on for several minutes, the vehicle is in motion when the stalling occurs and thankfully only on city streets. Codes have not been present but the stalling and idle leads me to believe it is faulty crankshaft…

  • Power steering pump line was melted into the bolt near the line , also the body over a year began to rust...so it took 800.00 to fix it
