Complaints and Common Faults

• 1. Engine Issues:

  • Engine stalling and power loss at various speeds due to failures like the ABS control module and engine knock sensor.
    
  • Fluid leaks from the master cylinder leading to acceleration issues and simultaneous fluid release.
    
  • Stainless steel diesel lines causing severe diesel exhaust odor inside cabin.
    

• 2. Transmission and Clutch Issues:

  • Clutch failures, including clutch pedal sticking to the floor, clutch master cylinder failures, and continuous issues with defective clutch components.
