The electrical system freaked out. (12,000)
The brake calipers broke on every wheel. (27,000)
The water pump gave out. (54,000)
the shocks were dead after 50,000. (50,000)
a tie rod in the back suspension broke. (37,000)

There were a host of other problems, too. AC, Electrical again, brakes again, and more. Got rid of it last month with only 54,000 on it. All of them gentle miles.

It was a POS. No more Dodgey products for me.
