| Description of the problem | After several complaints of rough idle, burnt oil and drive-ability issues starting at 7128 miles, 16066 miles, 21000 miles,22711 miles & 29356 miles, the engine was required replacement. After the engine was replaced (short block we were told), the brake assist system (bas) & the forward & rear collision warning system are intermittent in their operation. Randomly when sitting still the sensors will alert or when cross traffic (front or rear) the sensors fail to detect. This was a definite change of behavior since the engine was replaced. The local dealer said they checked it and after a few miles of driving declared it to be working properly. This random behavior occurs several times a day.. Attached is a car fax report of our vehicle reflecting the problems. |
