Exhaust has a small amount of black smoke coming from it and the air-conditioner compresser whistles. I checked for an oil leak and found it to be the head gasket. Why such a huge problem is not causing a forced recall is beyond me!

Head gasket is leaking oil, causing a potential safety hazard. Dealer replaced head gasket 3 times/valve cover gasket twice, and transmission seals once, but defects have reoccurred. Also, air conditioning system will not blow cold air and had to be replaced twice.

While driving at any speed vehicle was cutting off and stalling, and sometimes consumer couldn't go over 30 mph. When consumer tried to get over 30 mph, vehicle would stall and cut off without prior warning. Also, air conditioner had problems, and engine check light kept coming on. Dealer had to change the engine check light, consumer took vehicle in for repair service about 10 times, and the consumner just got the vehicle out of the shop on Feb 17th. Dealer can't determine the problem.
