This did not fix the problem took back in at 15000 and they stated no problem was found i was told the engine noise was normal. 6) the brakes pulsated when new took back at 59 mi. I was told to drive it and it would get better. Started again at 9000 mi. And they turned the rotors. Brakes started making a cracking noise in the front took in 3 times found no problem yet when i picked the vehicle up the last time at 15,000 mi the noise went away only to come back a week later. 7) when idling the vehicle vibrates bad!!!! Dash will rattle and you can feel it in the steering wheel. I was told this was normal when the a/c was on yet it's worse when the a/c is off.
