I SUPPOSEDLY HAD A GASKET PUT ON MY VEHICLE BUT I STILL HAVE A WATER LEAK. I SEE THERE WERE RECALLS ON HEADS OR GASKETS. I ALSO HAD BRAKES AND ROTORS PUT ON MY CAR WHICH I STILL HAVE PROBLEM WITH . I HAVE PAID OVER$400 TO GET THAT GASKET PUT ON. WHEN I USE MY AIR CONDITIONER THE POWER OF MY ENGINE WEAKENS AND I HEAR VALVES RATTLING. I DO NOT KNOW THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE EVERY GET THESE THINGS FIX WHEN THERE WERE A RECALL FOR THEM OR NOT. I ALSO HAD TO PUT A TRANSMISSION SENSOR ON THE VEHICLE. IT IS ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER FOR THIS VEHICLE. I THOUGHT MAYBE BECAUSE OF THE AGE OF THE CAR. BUT AFTER LOOKING AT THE RECALL OF THE VEHICLE. I BASICALLY HAVE TO RESTORE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WHERE I TOOK MY CAR TOLD ME THAT I HAD A RECALL ON MY BRAKES BUT I DO NOT THINK THEY DID ANYTHING ABOUT. THEN I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT I NEEDED WORK FOR THE STARTLING AND POWER OF MY VEHICLE. WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AFTER ONE WEEK IT WAS IN THE SHOP FOR THE GASKET. ABOUT A MONTH LATER THEN I NEEDED THAT TRANSMISSION SENSOR. I DO NOT BELIEVE MY CAR NEVER STOPPED DRIPPING WATER. I DO NOT KNOW EXACT DATE. I STILL HEAR THE ROARING SOUND WHEN I HIT MY BRAKES. *JB
