Ignition coil completely burned causing spark plugs to go bad sooner than needed. The crank shaft, water pump & thermostat had to be replaced. The cross caster is at permanent right angle which causes vehicle to pull right. No front brakes. Calipers & rotors were replaced, but not corrected. Right rear door misaligned, causing difficulty closing, right passenger door does not lock properly due to faulty motor. Underhood fuse recall, repairs have not been completed.
