Complaint Summary

ENGINE

Owner Narrative

THE ENGINE COOLING HAS A BAD DESIGN FOR THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS SO 2 BOLTS ON EACH SIDE BROKE OFF IN THE ENGINE BLOCK AND NOW THERE IS LARGE EXHAUST LEAKS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ENGINE. THIS IS THE MOST COMMON DEFECT I HAVE SEEN BY TALKING TO PEOPLE AND ON ANY FORUM AND AM VERY SURPRISED THIS ISN'T A RECALL ALREADY
