Engine light came on repeatedly and engine caught fire. The fire had come from the rear hood area. The dealer stated that the fire started from the #5 fuel injector/wiring harness/fuel rail. The vehicle also lost braking power and revved during the incident. There was an oil leak prior to the incident where the rocker arm cover was replaced, the power steering was noisy, leaked, and was replaced, and the bleeder screw was broken and the thermostat housing was replaced.

In cold weather the vehicle starts and constantly stalls without warning cause unknown. The vehicle failed to start several times. The dealer tried to fix the problem but the problem reoccured. Transmission fluid and power steering fluid leaks. The consumer believes the vehicle was lemon.
