Had to replace the faulty intake gasket twice. The second time had to do the head gasket also. This is a known defect in these vehicles. I thought this would be the worst issue I would have to deal with in this car but I was wrong. In 2017 the Theft System would end up being the final thing that killed off my car. Its still driveable but you will get stranded everywhere you go since the theft prevents the car from starting and there is no known solution so whats the point of keeping it after that?
