After owning the car for only 5,000 miles started to notice a horrible ticking sound coming from the engine. Paid to have the engine taken apart just to discover the entire intake manifold had to be replaced. There were other problems also.
After taking it across country, noticed gas mileage started to decrease. Also noticed a ticking sound. Took it in and discovered warped head, blown head gasket, and destroyed rocker arms. Car had less then 80,000 miles on it when this happened. Wasn't covered under extended warrenty even though it was the engine. Was out of a vehilce for 3 weeks waiting on repairs.
