We have replaced the transmission twice. The first time at 72,000 miles and then again at 94,000 miles. The brake pads, rotors, tie rods, rear whell cylinders, front drive axle have also been replaced. The pads 4 times and the rotors twice, ground down in between. Now the head gasket has blown and possible caused enough damage to warrant replacing the whole engine.

The ABS braking system malfunctioned, causing the brake pedal to the floor and extended stopping distance, which almost caused an accident. Sometimes needs to turn off vehicle in order to stop. The ABS light comes on. Been to dealer several times. Also, dealer replaced calipers, rotors, etc. Problem is reoccurring.
